I'm a bit behind in the whole blogging thing lately...just can't seem to get my act together to write posts...or read posts...or leave comments on posts...aaagghhhh bloggy mojo come back!!!! Friday night was regular 6-12 group gathering at Threadbear in Castlemaine where I continued basting the sashing hexies for Anna's Quilt centre medallion...as my bag was already packed from Friday night, Saturday morning the same project went for a trip to Werribee for Wyndham Patchworker's Quilt-In. It was a great day - spent with my navigator-extraordinaire Rosie (No Blog) (thanks Rosie I'd still be looking for Werribee!), her lovely friend Pat who sat with us, nice to meet you Pat, and catching up with bloggy friend Sheryl. We all received a lucky dip door prize...I scored a deluxe wooden spool holder fitted out with the optional extras of a needle magnet and a thread cutter, always useful, thank you very muchly...Too much chatting and not enough concentrating meant the stitching went a bit pear-shaped...

grrr, reverse sewing will be required, chucked in the corner for now, grrr....
The guest speaker at the Quilt-In was Esther Aliu...whew! that woman can quilt *LOL*...it was lovely to hear her story and see her work...she invited everyone up to have a goog look and touch her quilts at the end of her talk but the crush at the front of the stage was too many quilters deep so I didn't even try...a couple of pics...

Have a great rest of your week...
Happy Stitching...

Too much sewing socialising in the real world!
Sounds like you had a fun weekend - shame about the unsewing - good to hear they're holidaying in the naughty corner!
It's fantastic that you got to party with the girls and see a quilt show...good times..
I have times when my blogging mojo disappears, usually when I have too much on and I am tired.. hopefully yours has just had a little break and is coming home now!!
