Yes, I've been terrible at updating my blog recently. I have been so busy quilting and I have 2 magazine deadlines that I have been pushing to get finished that I have only been on my computer to write patterns...yay... and pay bills...yuck...
Back a couple of weeks myself and my "sewing sisters" attended the Central Coast Charity Quilt Show.
Front L-R Ange & Myself (Gail is missing)
We had a fabulous time. We met some lovely new people and the whole weekend was really relaxing and fun. I did a demo on improvised block construction. I was really nervous and did the whole thing way to fast.
Me doing my demo...
My friend Jan from Red Shed Quilting did and awesome demo and talk on domestic machine quilting. Jan really is a quilting guru and she has been a fantastic mentor to me and is more than willing to share her expertise. Thanks Jan...
Jan has them enthrauled...

Beth is Jan's daughter. She won the Junior section...
Charlotte is another one of our Juniors. She got second for her 1st quilt...
The whole thing was to raise money for the local hospital oncology unit. The Show raised just shy of $10 000. WOW!! That's amazing!!! Yay for the quilting community...

Next up was Mothers Day...
Look what my Hubby pick for me...from the garden at his work...
It was a relaxing day. First up was breaky at Maccas, next flowers at the cemetary (on my mother-in-laws grave), then to the hardware. All I wanted for Mothers Day was to get a bunch of stuff hung on my studio walls. That's why we went to the hardware to get hanging stuff. All done and now I'm happy...

On to quilting... This week I have done custom quilting for Gail. Two customs in a row, I really am ready for that massage now...oooo my aching back...
Phew, that was exhausting but fun...
Happy Quilting
