Home Again…

Yesterday I drove home after a busy week





in the “Big Smoke” going to see



on Saturday.

catching up with my sisters on Sunday.


Had a fabulous time chatting and reminiscing.

Shopping, playing games and just spending time with my girls….

Wednesday went to the craft show with DD2. We never seem to have enough time when we go there. Maybe need to go two days next year..
Here are a few of the fabulous quilts that the talented folk had on display..
This beautiful one was quilted on a domestic machine..



Jocelyn Leath makes gorgeous art quilts



I did like the Aussie themed ones.









This is the stash I come home with…



Can’t show all in detail as some will be swap and Christmas gifts..

While there I did try to do some sewing but the furry assistant decided to help…



Tove did make it difficult for me to lay out my blocks so I thought I would catch up on some blog and e-mail reading…….WRONG!!!!!!

Just Watching….




a little closer


what’s that
















where did that cursor go ????



Ah !!! nearly got it.



"What you doing Tove ????"



“Who me ?? Nothing !!!!!! Would I do anything….."

Will show you the lovely goodies that where waiting for me on my return on my next post.

FNSI

Last night for FNSI I managed to sit and stitch block 8 of my Christmas Fun……..





Wasn’t till I posted the photo I realised I still need to give Santa eyes,nose and mouth………

Hugz, Maria.

OFW and Lovely gifts….

I can’t believe how quickly Wednesday comes around. Where did the other days go… Time to hop over to Karen's Blog and see who else has been sewing their flowers.

this week these frogs jumped

into my garden.  As you can tell it is a Sunny day here today, LOL

Last Friday the postie delivered a surprise parcel sent by a special blogging friend.



Thank you for the book and Block #646 looks great.


I was also spoilt for Mother’s Day by both my DDs.
Love my cute Crystal Duck which now lives with the chooks on the kitchen shelf.



and the Blue Birdhouse that looks good swinging in the tree.



I also got yummy chocies but couldn’t take a photo as they are all gone………


Yesterday my swap gift arrived from the USA. It was a Secret Swap run by Heidi so I was thrilled to receive this gift from Laurie.



Thank you for a beautiful Zipper Purse in 1930’s fabrics and two nice FQ’s.

Hugz,
Maria

Happy Mother’s Day

A Great Night Out and a BINGO!!

Each year the Geraldton Patchwork Group invite groups from surrounding areas for their annual Mother’s Day Dinner.



They always have such a beautiful array of foods and sweets followed by show and tell.






A fabulous night was had by all.

when I got home I sat down to check what bingo words were called and I was delighted to have filled a row..

Yah Bingo in row “N”
Great finish to a great night.

OFW plus Three… My Village and Biscuits..

Wednesday again sew it’s time to join Karen and the ladies for One Flower Wednesday..



I also stitched a few of these for Vignette Hexagon Quilt.



This week I have been very busy with my village.



Sewed the borders on but have not sewn them together yet. I have done more but couldn’t find them in the cave. Must be time for a tidy up again.

Yesterday Jan-Maree posted a recipe for Rice Bubble Biscuits. As I don’t often bake,


as you can see by the date on these,
thought it was time I did.





Taa Dah!!!!  They don’t even taste bad. LOL.

Hugz,  Maria

Look what

I made today…. As it is getting cooler thought Lacy needed them



Do you think she is happy with her new jacket and fringed blanket ???????

Oh the sun has just popped out so may go for a walk….

Hugz, Maria and Lacy
