Well the weather is wild, windy & wet! Our family is about to head off in the morning for a 2 daybreak. The first in a very LONG time together as we missed our annual holiday in January at the beach due to such a late harvest here on the farm. So we will go to Goolwa for 2 nights - might end up in the car or motel room out of the weather, but at least we are away & together vbg.
It is now less than a month before the amazing Sharon Schamber arrives in Australia. There are only a couple of spots left in the domestic classes now, so if you are considering learning from this inspiring teacher then book in soon. There are still plenty of spots to come see her trunk show & hear her quilting story!
For those having difficulty in finding some supplies to complete her classes and patterns that are available, I now have some of these items in stock.
