Had a lovely day at Bathurst again. They are gearing up for Sue Spargo's workshop at the end of the month and by all accounts it should be very exciting.

Some pics here of the NYB blocks the gitrls are working on for their Reproduction Beauties quilts - cats, florals, repros, pretties - you name it they are doing it. And very happily too. After a few glitches with the foundations we are well on the way to completing their versions of my quilt and the raffle quilt for Swd High quilt show.

157 entries and the hall will be chocka-block our exhibition organiser - also known as Marilyn - tells me.

The theme of the show is Oriental Journey and Sue in my Swd class is doing my quilt-as-you-go Noodle box using great oriental prints. Foundation pieced with flying geese around an octagonal block. Very easy to quilt and put together.

I'm having a stall at the show selling patterns and kits for them. I've been busy cutting and packaging - reducing the stash quite well to make room to buy some new stuff. Isn't that how it works?
