Number two completed...

Another "Challenge" completed this is my "Seed Packet Quilt"......it is very pink, I had a lot of problems working with this one, because it is so pink, but I am happy with the finished product...now that is two done...

A bit of "ME" time...

Time to finish another project......this is a little quilt I had all folded up with wadding and the backing and I had even made the bind, so why not finish it....I need a little bit of relaxation...for those not in Aus...30th June is the end of our tax year....so things are very hectic at work as well as my little book keeping service that I have...so I have worked hard over the weekend and now it is "me" time.....

Cyber stitching day....we really had a fantastic day...there were 12 of us unfortunately two were unable to make it....we had lots of food (so much, still lots of leftovers in my fridge) I think I may have over catered (never mind)...lots of laughs....but more important we had a "gathering" of special friends and there is no way to describe that type of day.....I have said it before and I will say it again I am "blessed"....Now to all those bloggers who made comments....goodness what can I say.......you all put the icing on our cake....all your warm wishes truly was just so nice.
