.My day

Today I have been trying to get some customer quilting done. Of course it is a custom quilt and each row takes about 3 hrs. i thought I should get this out of the way. Day three and still 2 rows to go. Maybe I will get it finished tomorrow..LOL.

My visit to the P.O. today revealed mail from Helen S of Point Lonsdale,Vic.

Opening it revealed these 3 lovely quilt tops,ready to quilt. They will be quilted up very soon.Just as soon as the custom is off my frame LOL.

Next package was from Jamie V from  Texas USA.

which contained these lovely blocks including 2 made by her grandmother.

They will fit in well with what we have.

The web programme has gone down and I can't load any more photos tonight.I will post the other one tomorrow.

When Holly P sent me an email and asked if  I could use some fabric and blocks from her sewing room as she was having a cleanup,I gratefully replied that we would love whatever she could spare. You can imagine my surprise when I went into the P.O. and  I picked up a box about 2' square and weighing about 10lbs.

I had friends come around today and we sorted out the box of goodies from Holly P. I have itemised them and taken separate pictures,then I realised it would take about 3 hrs to load them on here so I have taken group photos and will post them. I have kept the other photos in my photo album.

Here is the list:

This wonderful box full of goodies and the other fantastic blocks I have received this week will be going to Busy Bees tomorrow and the sorting out and handing out will begin. We will then make a date for the first  full working bee in Maryborough.

I am expecting another wonderful box from Jan D any time now and will take it to Bendigo with me on Wednesday when I go for the working bee over there. I have organised today for 2 individual ladies to collect 3 and 5 sets of blocks respectively to join together for starters. We are well on the way girls.Lets keep this thing rolling.
