Heather may only have on small block to show but she really had achieved heaps - Jenny's quilt looked great made up in Hello Luscious and white - Deb's bright fabrics were looking great,

Happy sewing everyone

Retreats are in full swing - I thought it was time I shared some photos of some of my retreat groups over the past few weeks. I love having all my groups visit and love to see them leave with smiles on their faces and quilt tops complete. I am sure you will agree these ones look great

Block Exchange

Once again we have started working on another Paper Bag quilt - friendship quilt. This years is a block exchange where you pick a block, make one up then everyone else has to make up a block for you throughout the year. This is my block a red basket. I love the combination of red and cream together and I have always wanted to make a basket quilt. So I looking forward to receiving all my basket blocks back laterin the year and then turning it into a quilt. Block exchanges are so much fun.
Thanks for sharing Monday with me

Meet Bow, Daphne's brother who Nicole accidently found, as a give away on the net. When his little face appeared on her screen she knew he was meant to be ours. As you can see they are very much alike - in more ways then one. He has settled into our family like he has known us for ever - some things are just meant to be,

How cute is this face - can anyone guess who it is
