A Photo at Last!

My first photo upload! thanks to my dear IT expert.

This is a Sudoko quilt I made with fabric purchased in Millthorpe when I attended the Quilters' Guild of NSW Inc. Away Meeting in Orange. It was a great weekend away and this is a great memento of that time.

All I have to do now is quilt it! I am waiting to do a class with Debby Brown, a quilter from the US, who is coming to AQC in April. I am really looking forward to this class and am hoping to learn heaps before I think about purchasing a Sweet Sixteen.

I think I have had enough playing with the computer for tonight - time for bed.

Busy Busy!

Life has been hectic over the last few weeks. Christmas has come and gone in a rush. I have been participating in Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street Mystery Quilt - what a great thing and fun to boot. A new instruction was added each week for 7 weeks and a large number of people all over the world have been busy stitching strips, squares, triangles to make the bits that make up the quilt. All of my bits are sewn and about 2/3 of the blocks are now done. I have not finished it yet as we have had other things happening.

Last Saturday we had a baby shower for my daughter Sarah, organised by her very capable sister, Leah. It was a great afternoon despite the rain. Leah spent a lot of time making signs and bunting and generally being the hostess with the mostest.

We all thought that Sarah had at least 3 weeks to go before the birth of her child but the baby wasn't having any of that - Sunday morning and Sarah's waters broke and Monday morning she was induced. Lovely Rachel arrived at 4.38 on Monday afternoon. They are both well and seem to be settling in well together. Rachel is a real cutie and we are very proud of our daughter. Our next adventure is the learning to be grandparents.

I also spent the best part of Monday and Tuesday doing a workshop making a book in a box thanks to the expert tutor Peter Stanford. It was a really fun time and I enjoyed book making - not that I need another hobby to add to the list.

Now all I need to do with my time is work out to add photos to my blog! Maybe tomorrow.
