~GDITC~ Saturday

On entering the Hall at Girls Day in the Country on Saturday we were greeted with a
Cottage on the Hill mug and a lovely centre piece of pink flowers in a vase

Our kit for the day

comprised of a Lynette Anderson Easter Table Topper

Here's Lynette showing off the Sampler piece

A few Hexagons made

I caught up with Suzie

It was a windy day and chairs were required to hold the doors open

Dear Shez came around to the tables

Hello Girls would anyone like some fruit........being banana sweets lol

Our table

Kate received my Swap Gift

We were each given a stitchery by Lynette to use and make something out of it

I made a Stitching Towel to use as a protector for the table to lay one's sewing work on

Dawnie was prepared to fight for it lol

A copy of the Stitchery available over here

Thank You Lynette

I received my Swap Gift from Shez

a little bag which is  holding my Hexagons

Thank You Shez......I love it and my Hexies are still sitting there

During the day I caught up with Lynette

Kate proudly showing her cushion

And group Bloggers pic to finish off the day

There was more Show-and-tell that evening

Here is Susan with her gorgeous quilt

JoJo even became involved and showed us her new poster

And more Show-and-tell

I'll be back with more pics of Sunday

Happy Stitching......Dzintra

~Girls Day In The Country......Saturday~

Further to my previous post on GDITC at Nundle once we entered the door we were greeted by these delightful boxes with our project from our Tutor for the day.......Lynette Anderson

Fabric in the box from her latest design

and all kitted out ready to start!!!

The project was a bag and this is the front of it

the back

and my first hexagon!!!

Upon entering the Hall I spotted this quilt called 'Waiting for Santa' by Lynette and thought it looked very, very familiar

As it was I had seen it before in another version at Braidwood and fell in love with it there also

To see the post on this quilt have a look here

Needles to say I bought the pattern and have it set aside to start one of these days!!!

The centrepiece on the table

There was a Show and Tell featuring Lynette's made up items and I showed off my Simple Stitches needle case

Kerry hosted a Friendship Swap which was a needle case designed by Lynette

and Lynda received mine

I received mine from Suzie

Pic taken with Lynette

Some of Lynette's quilts on display

This one is Love Letters and I'm very tempted to do this

Perhaps next year when I go back!!!

There was a Show and Tell later that evening and here I am together with Chookyblue showing off our Gardener's Journal Quilts by Anni Downs

Note the different colours......Chooky has done hers in all greens

Some Kind of Wonderful also by Anni

 A group photo of us all

And the most exciting thing for JoJo was the next morning when Bruce McCumstie was telephoned by the owners/managers of the Cabins we stayed at and requested if he would come down and sign a CD that he is featured on!!!

Jo Jo purchased the CD in Nundle and it is called 4 Highwaymen depicting

Willie Nelson who Bruce was,

Waylon Jennings......Rob Wilson

Johnny Cash......Alan Bowles

Kris Kristofferson.....Bryen Williams

Thank you so much Fossicker's Rest and Bruce!!!!!!

Have been very busy here in the local production of 'Allo 'Allo by Bay Theatre Players and will be back to post on that!!!

~Purple Carrots~

Here's something I just couldn't resist sharing......

I was slicing Purple Carrots and noticed they looked just like Hexagons.....

I thought they were just gorgeous and cute.......and the colour was so rich

All purple and orange!!!!

I did a little research and found out that carrots used to be purple before they were bred orange...

To read more about this go over here

I love them whether they are purple or orange!!!
