What are you doing tomorrow ... episode 3

Well I’ll be getting up at 3.30am and heading off to the airport yet again to zoom off to Sydney for my second class with Sue Cody here to make my tree of life quilt ... which Sue actually calls 'Olive Tree'.

I am a tad disappointed that I don’t have all of the things I had planned to have done by now ... but they were unrealistic anyway ... well that’s what I’m telling myself!

I have 27 rows of quilting done and only about 50 to go .... my fingers are sore just thinking of this. I have done about 200 of the clam shells .. only 200 or there abouts to go.

 

Of course I would have done a bit more this morning but instead I went and bought a bag to carry everything in ... last month I carried about a dozen little bags and my neck was sore for a week afterwords ... this way my neck will still be sore for a week but the bag is quite nice to look at!

Jodie received her quilt on Wednesday and by all accounts she is quite pleased with it ... (huge sigh of relief!!) ... but I won’t post a picture until she has a chance to do so.

Megan went on her first overnight camp with the school this week ... I am sure she is having a great time, she has been so very excited about it for a very long time now. They have gone to Phillip Island .... I feel cold just saying that. It has been so very cold here this week. My flight doesn’t leave Sydney until 11.30pm (yuck!!!!!) so Meg’s will be collected by the Chrissie (our very good nanny come housekeeper). Thanks Chris and sorry Meggsie I will wake you up with at least a million kisses and cuddles when I get home ... we are all missing you!

So I had better go and try and do some more quilting ... should be ironing but I wont tell if you don’t! 

Have a great weekend!

You only need an iron when a seam needs pressing or fusible webbing needs attaching.

These are the rules.

Have a safe trip to Sydney (very envious over here!)You will look very stylish with your new bag. I noticed that Material Obsession have just released a book - is the Olive Tree Quilt (actually I like your name better) featured in it do you know? I will have to look out for it at the bookstore.

Have a lovely time, don't worry about not getting as much done as you would have liked- you have been busy with other bits and pieces and you have still done quite a bit. See you when you get back.
