May!!!!!!

 Yes it's May and the middle of the month. My wifi has been down so my computer has had no internet, the printer wouldn't work and I had to bite the bullet and call the tech guy in Wollongong, who is a bit arrogant which is why I put it off for so long, anywho after him fiddling wioth the system we're back!

A lot has happened since the last blog post, I went to Scrub Stitching, that was a great weekend and I met so many lovely people and got so much sewing and quilting done. The Magpie bag was my gift in the make it, bake it, fake it draw. Then the printed bag with all our names on it. Oh and the goody bag! I made a project bag from a Kmart tea towel with koalas on it, I was finishing it the day before leaving home and I realised I had the koalas upside down so I ripped off the binding and re did it, I was hoping that one of the overseas visitors would get it and Deana did, so I was happy.

Above is the group photo and also the chookshed stitchers. I got the quilting finished on Grant's quilt, it just needs the sashing and binding done. I assembled my Moda Love quilt as well.

Then a few days after I got back we got a kitten! this is Livvy, Dave didn't want a cat but he has taken responsibility for feeding her, hence the lamb shank in her bowl.

Then I put two quilts in the Gunnedah Show and got Firsts for both I was pleased and surprised. I got my Churn Dash quilt quilted by Jackson of House of Jackson, Chooky picked it up and dropped it off for me I just need to bind it. I had better get off to work so I can pay for more quilting.

SS2023 prep & day 1.......

OMG it was dangerous and it's only day 1.........

We turned on a pretty sunset just no kangaroos grazing for the girls to see......

Finally time for dinner and we took over the pub..... We were going to be out the back in the beer garden but it was a bit fresh so Sue set extra tables in the bar for us.........

The only thing the boys are allowed too..........dinner at the pub.......

Then it was back to the cabins and bed for some and late night sewing for others........
