In Full Bloom

This is the first block of Lynette Anderson's In Full Bloom. This little tree was beautiful to stitch.

A weekend of packing and planning for our trip to NZ in the school hols. Might need to trace off a couple of stitcheries to slip into my bag........

"A day patched with quilting seldom unravels" - have a great weekend.

More GDITC...., TTS

These swings are outside the Nundle Woollen Mill - aren't they a great idea.

We shared our table with three girls from Queensland : Cheryl, Susan, Sam, Ann-Marie, Lynda and Bronne.

I'm a little bit ahead on TTS, this is the April block.

I added another row of clamshells to my GDITC block last night. It's lovely to work with such a pretty fabric range.

More GDITC....

At GDITC 2011 Kerry set a name tag challenge. This is mine.

We also had to make an English Paper Pieced pin cushion to swap, which was more than a little challenging. This is the one I received from Chris. Thankyou Chris!

And this is mine, which I think went to Kylie (?). I love the Antique Fair range.



I also love French General, and was thrilled that the charm pack in my goodie bag was the new Petite Odile.

I love this fabric so it should inspire me to finish my EPP project from the weekend.

The wait seemed to go on forever, but we finally got to GDITC on Friday.

Sue Daley's trunk show on Friday night was full of gorgeous quilts, and the interesting story of her patchwork journey. Am I going to be able to do this???

One of the highlights was meeting Dawnie. Dawnie, Ann-Marie and I all did the In My Garden BOM, and ALL finished it. Don't they look great together?

And this is how far I got on my project - still quite a bit of work to go.

 Booked in for 2013.

More adventures of Peg and Dale.....

Home from GDITC - it was a fantastic weekend in so many ways - chatting, sewing, eating, sewing, learning, and more sewing. It was sad that some of our friends were unable to join us, but they were with us in spirit. Peg and Dale got up to an awful lot whilst in Nundle...........drinking at the bubbler....

and making new friends. For more visit Chookyblue

It was great to meet so many bloggers, and other passionate patchworkers, AND Sue Daley. Her work is amazing.

Better spend some time with the family. Back with more pics later.
