Goody bags were awaiting us as we walked into the barn.

Each bag contained four brand new quilt patterns.

And a smaller pattern with everything needed to start stitching.

Nearly everyone worked on this project, easily completed.

Also time for some retail therapy.

Another one of their lovely patterns.

A wonderful day was had by all who attended

and much laughter catching up with old friends and making new ones.

Even had a sneak peak of the quilts from Leonie & Deirdre’s new book.

(Sorry no photos allowed)

Delicious food was provided by Linda and her helpers.

Not forgetting the gorgeous venue.

Part of the proceeds from both days was generously donated to

Breast Cancer Research.

Yesterday I attended “A Gathering in the Barn” with

Leonie & Deirdre – The Quilted Crow Girls,

at the property of Linda of “Quilts in the Barn”.

Leonie & Deirdre use felted wool for their applique,

many of the colours they dye themselves.

A wonderful day was had by all.

Stay tuned for more photos and info in the next post.

Now that the school holidays are well and truly over, classes have begun for the year.

 The Quilters Patch always has a stunning window display.

New range of fabric: 1 is one.

Also new is Rouenneries Deux.

Illusions is always a favourite on the class list.

Lots of cutting and playing with colours.

With students choosing everything from pretty florals to reproduction.

Sonia also bought in some show and tell, all hand pieced.
