My apologies for neglecting my blog. I have been busy with family stuff. Hopefully most stuff has now settled down a bit. My mum's unit has now been sold and was settled last week so all the sorting/cleaning etc is finished. I still have quite a few boxes of stuff in my house that need to find a good home. DS2 returned from 5 years in Qld (Noosa) and bought all his stuff, even though he is sharing a house with a couple of mates, says his stuff wont fit there! Then DS3 whose house has just been sold - please mum, can I store some of my stuff at your place until I get new digs!
Amongst all this stuff happening, I had a wonderful 5 days in Kiama last month at the annual Scquilters Retreat - 120+ other quilters from around Oz invaded the small coastal town just below Sydney. In Melbourne we had the annual Australasian Quilter's Convention and Show and I masqueraded as an Angel for 2 days - the first doing White Glove duty in the Show area answering questions, showing the backs of quilts and making sure no-one bought in food or drink. The second day was working as a Tutor's Angel with Gloria Loughman, an Australian Landscape Quilt Artist. Both days were fantastic and I will definitely do it again.
After all of this, next week I'm off on holiday - flying to the US with DS1, DDIL and granddaughter. We're going to NY, Chicago and Boston AND Disneyland!!!!! Can't wait to experience this with a 4 yo who firmly believes the 'real Cinderella and the real Snow White' live there. Not the pretend ones! The real ones!
Hope to post again before I leave as there has been lots of other things happening around here. I have even finished a couple more UFOs, but still have to take the photos.
Take care,
Joy
