I went to the workshop with Judy Coats Perez.......what a lovely day...it was one of the most relaxing class I have done.........My friend Angela did the workshop as well and another friend Michelle was there too.....although I'm not a member of the Peachester Quilters I do know a lot of the members....so it was good to catch up with some of them....... I am not a painter or very good at drawing but I always like to step out of my comfort zone.....and give it a go.....we started the workshop playing with the inks and and practiced drawing leaves, orange circles and flowers and then we could select a smaller project to paint and also choose an animal to paint using a different technique with the inks......so I picked something simple...not.....

A  rooster...what was I thinking....... 

but I love his stance.....

Here is Michelle.....

and here is Judy talking to Martin

and here is my flower and rooster........I hope to finish it over the Xmas break.......

It was funny when anyone would walk around to see what the others were doing and I could hear "Oh wow that's lovely"......or "Oh that's so pretty"....and then they would come to mine and say......Mmmm.... a blue and purple rooster..... Oh that's interesting......I just smiled and say thanks........you know what .......I love it and that's all that matters......

Hope everyone enjoys their day...........Cathy

Well the Xmas party's have started........last Monday the Textile Group from Caloundra met at Moffit Beach for a BYO lunch.....2 members of the group live part time OS and they were due to leave within a couple of days, so the group decided to celebrate early.....

It was blowing a gale and the bunting that Debbie made was flapping all over the place....

A great day was had by all...

I really enjoy the company of these ladies.....and it was great to see to the ladies after such a long break from the group.......I had been helping a lady (who I worked for 7 yrs ago) in her shop and had worked Mondays but that has all finished now and I'm looking forward to getting back into being part of the group in 2014......

Hope you all have a great day......Cathy
