Fun Weekend Away

Bag packed?  Check   .....  Sewing basket packed?  Check

Last Saturday 4 girls from our patchwork group headed 340km south to Highfields to attend 'Stitchers Dream Day Out' hosted by The Quilters Angel. Taking our time we enjoyed several stops along the way for morning tea, lunch and of course some shopping.

Sunday we were ready for a day of fun, stitching and meeting fellow bloggers. All was revealed from behind the curtain


and before long we were stitching away on one of 6 projects designed by Nikki Tervo, Gail Pan and Natalie Bird. This is the one I'll be completing.


It was all go at our table ... where did they go? ... out to enjoy some yummy lunch I think.


A highlight of my day was meeting up with 2 lovely ladies that I've been exchanging blog chat with for a few years and it was like getting together with old friends.

Fiona of Bubzrugz who is a fellow "1 Xmas Item A Month" Elf

and we shared our table with Kris of Tag Along Teddies , co-host of OPAM with Peg.

It was so much fun to catch up with blogging buddies.  All too soon it was time to pack up and head back up the road to home. A great weekend with good friends and plans underway for 2013.
