Looking back at AQC




I don't know why I haven't got around to blogging since returning from Oz my time management is rubbish and I always seem to be chasing my tail! Anyway here goes, although it was back in April I am just so grateful to Cecile Whatman from Unique stitching for sponsoring my trip to Melbourne it was really fantastic to be part of the show. As you can see it was held in one of Melbourne's heritage buildings and here we are on set up day....................more to follow.............I promise!

Back again

very remiss of me not blogging, I have actually been back from Australia for ages but don't seem to have had much time to myself, or is it my time management is all up the creek? Anyway here I am again and I will put up all the Australia stuff shortly. i'm off the Spain again in September to la drova look at www.quiltingholidays.co.uk there are still a couple of places left so if you are interested in having a stitching holiday with me get booked up!


My BIG news is that I am now a grandmother, sounds extremely ancient, but its lovely to have this new little boy in our lives. Jake Alexander was born on 3rd June so you will understand my thoughts have been elsewhere just lately and I want to see him as much as I can for cuddles.


I'll be back again soon
