What a busy month

Oh boy have I been busy.......I had a birthday in April and my husband whisked me away for mystery mini holiday for 5 nights....how exciting........I had to pack walking shoes, warm clothes.....flying to our destination but passport not required.......

and this is were we ended up.......Melbourne......





what a great time we had.......so much nice food...




so many things to see.....




so much to explore in the city........





I came home exhausted.....


Since then I have been playing with fabrics making Tags with the ladies at the Textile group in Caloundra.........

and then a week later.......

I also met the lovely Denise denthe.blogspot.com.au who's blog I have followed for a couple of yrs now.......sorry no photo....make sure you have a look at these ladies blogs to see their fantastic work.......


I am not much of a so called painter/artist.....but I have been following Tracy's blog for so long and wanted to do the workshop just because I could.....anyway here is my painting.......still needs a little work...and I am very happy with it.......




There are a couple of other ladies I met at the workshop who's work I just loved....a big hello to Sharon.....Renee....and her sister Anita......


So this last 2 weeks have been rather hectic for me as I have been putting together another Circle Game quilt........Why the rush.....well tomorrow I am meeting Jen Kingwell....:-)





Jen is teaching a retreat at Maleny this weekend and the ladies from the Thursday class are showing their quilts to Jen and all the ladies at the retreat on Sunday night.........


I hope everyone had a great weekend.......until next time......

Happy stitching.......Cathy
