A New year

               Well my year has started nicely really, I thought it was going to be terrible but it was pointed out that all the recent things that had gone wrong happened at the end of 2010 and now they are all being fixed this year.... woohoo....... what a relief that is..... :-)
               I have started semi retirement ( if not for a few years) until my arm heals so off I go into the unknown...... I was offered one day a week doing invoices for a lovely man who employes my husband, so that will keep me on the straight and narrow one hopes.. and to my surprise i was asked if my Cake from the "Bring a plate" challenge could be on the front cover of the latest guild newsletter.. I was chuffed. Already looking up...
             This week I intend to do some designing so if I'm pleased with it I might share next week????
                  I would also like to thank those who leave comments as it brightens my day..
                         So have a good week and enjoy

Tangled Web Quilters Xmas Luncheon

              We all decided to go to the Patchwork Cafe at New Norfolk, which has only recently opened, for our Xmas luncheon. It was a lovely mild summers day as we all arrived separately around 12.00. After a look over the fabric, patterns and books in which is a good selection and growing all the time, we sat outside under a large shadey tree and ate a lovely lunch with good company

                As a Christmas swap we had to wrap the fat quarter in a creative way. Here is mine

                     It is a Christmas decoration with a fat quarter inside,   well actually its a balloon with a fat quarter inside it with a pretty chrissy ribbon on top. I fold the FQ very small and  stretched the balloon over it and the blew the balloon only half way up, so it would not be too fragile. It did survive until it needed to be revealed.  It was a lovely afternoon and Im sure everyone enjoyed themselves.

WHAT A SURPRISE !!!!!!

Well here is my entry in the "Bring a plate" Challenge 2010, It won 1st place yesterday at the Xmas Guild meeting in Launceston. I was thrilled and shocked to have won and received alot of lovely compliments from a lovely group of women. Here are some photos
