and just a little bit of business -
The next two sewing days will be as follows

and at Penrith Patchwork on Sunday the 19th of May 10am to 2pm.
Bring your sewing machine, your lunch and I will provide your snacks.
If you are interested in coming to one or both days can you please let me know so that I know how much preparation to do.
Now on with the show...

Danni and the Sit and Sew Ladies at the Quilting Patch made this gorgeous Aussie themed quilt. Look at all that applique!
Evelyn
Kiwi Karen made this awesome quilt but I am not going to tell you about it just yet. I want to write a post in this and its brother quilt that you will see soon.
Debbie
As Joan said "a little bit of skullduggery"
The words show up better in the flesh, so to speak!
Lisa made this fabulous scrap quilt, also her first AHQ.
It has gone to a legal officer whose nickname is "Atticus" after the character in "To Kill A Mockingbird".
In case you can read the text on the quilt it says "Remember, its a sin to kill a mockingbird."
Sent off two quilts and laundry bags this week.
We have the words to "My Country" by Dorothy Mackellar on one side and "Kookaburra sits on the Electric Wire" on the other side.
Cheer for now
