A day out after class

Last Thursdays class was a great for Wendy, Patsy, Merrilyn and Stella, with plenty of one on one time. We were a small but very productive group,as some of the girls are on holidays or had to work. We had a visit from Kim's mum Joan and Aunty Judith, to help Kim get ready for the Buderim Quilt Show for the weekend.

Wendy, Julie, Helen and myself went to the Quilt Show on Friday. We had a great morning catching up with friends/quilter from other groups. There was a great display of beautiful quilts, with a nice variety of styles and techniques. We saw a beautiful Australian inspired Baltimore, a hand quilted Double Wedding Ring, with trupunto,  a hand quilted wholecloth. Also on display was some Crazy Patch and the Textile groups challenge.

I have a lot more photos of the beautiful quilt from this show but unable to get permission to show them on my blog.


So after a great morning looking at quilts the only thing to do was go out for lunch. We found a nice cafe right next door to a dress shop. What a nice way to spend the day with friends.

Happy Stitching

Some photo's that Christine took on Thursday of the very talented girls from my class.

Hay I finally got them on the blog, 

Big day on Thursday

Everyone is stockpiling their projects, so that they have plenty to do while I'm away.
Next week I will be visiting my parents for my birthday and the week after I will be a student in a 3 day workshop in Brisbane, so I will be away for a couple of our classes.

The bottom two photos are from the Machine Freemotion Beginners class.
Christine was taking photos of the classes and shop for a advertising flyer that she and Kim 
have been designing, and has given me a copy to put on the blog.

 
We have a little tradition with birthdays, If it is your birthday you have to bring the cake. It was my turn to bring cake last Thursday, and I forgot to take a photo, I have to get into taking photos at ever opportunity. Thanks girls for the presents.

The cake must have tasted good the girls want the recipe.


I use a Greens chocolate cake with 2 eggs and 200g of Greek yoghurt and 2 small packets off frozen mixed berries. ( I don't know what brand, but their are 4 small pkts in the box) and a half a pkt of small dark chocolate drops and a tbl of butter. Cook as directed, I don't like sweet topping that comes with the cake mix, so I just dust with icing sugar before serving. Everyone enjoyed it, it's sweet, gooey and then you get a little burst of a tart berry, delicious!

Enjoy

Our blocks are growing we have just under fifty, keep sewing girls we are nearly half way there!
