Last Saturday we ventured out to "Patch N Quilt" in Gisborne for a special event.
Irene Blanck was signing copies of her beautiful new book "Focus On Appliqué". We also organised to meet up with the Gisborne girls, Tania, Marg and Tracee.
Marina and Irene in front of Irene's newest project, "A Paradise of Birds".
Of course there was shopping and Anne was trying to convince Marina to share her voucher. And do you think that she would?
Of course I bought a book. With 13 beautiful projects, how could I resist?
We ended the day with a very long and leisurely lunch, and made plans for another get together in the near future.
We last saw the Gisborne girls at the Sunbury Stitchers Quilt In on June 13th.
The Sunbury Quilters always put on a fabulous event.
I was trying to get a photo of Sue while she wasn't looking.
The Quilt In was just after my swap pincushion arrived from Fiona, so of course it had to come with me so that I could show the girls.
Prior to this outing, we all met at the Gail Pan sewing day on March 28th.
Shez was there too.
I suppose some one had to be the teacher's pet.
A final photo to remember our day in Narre Warren.
I bought Gail's "Pear" pattern and here is my version waiting to be quilted.
