Far too busy to blog ---sorry ----Plus Chrissy in July Give Away
I just seem to be far too busy to blog at the moment, had another great retreat last weekend, this group of lovely ladies have been coming for quite some time, each year they make the trip up the New England Hwy to Nundle to spend the weekend with me. This year Tanya had her sister, Tracey, visiting all the way from Finland so she joined the group as well. We had a good weekend with some lovely quilts made as well as a few older ones finished off. Tracey, do hope you enjoyed yourself, and I am sure you will have many fond memories of the weekend when you snuggle up under you quilt back in Finland. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Other news, well the response from the article in Country Threads has been wonderful, lots of phone calls and emails, glad everyone is enjoying it. The kits for the Spinning Pin wheels Quilt which is featured it the magazine have been selling really well, we still have some in stock for anyone wishing to purchase one, its a great quilt for a man.
Thanks to all those who have commented on my article - all your comments are so lovely and encouraging.
The count down is on - There is only a little over two weeks to go until our annual Christmas in July retreat, this year there are over 20 ladies coming to spend 2 days with me in Nundle. This year I have organised 3 guess tutors, Janelle Wind, Natalie Ross and Rosalie Quinlan. Everyone is getting very excited, I have been very busy cooking to feed all of us. Because I am going to be away watching Sebastian play Rugby League up in North Queensland for the week prior I have to be totally organised before leaving, and believe it or not I am getting that way. For those coming the food is looking very yummy, I am sure you won't go home hungry.
For all those who can't be with us that weekend, if you make a comment on my blog between now and Friday 13th July I will put you in the draw to win one of 3 kits for the projects we will be making over that weekend.
Leave a comment and let me know what you will be up to on Friday 13th July and you will go in the draw to win.
Anyway back to the end of month book work, hope everyone is enjoying this cold wet winter we are having here in Australia, thanks for dropping by

Hi Kerry
As always you sound very busy Friday 13th I will be home and quilting (I hope) hubby and son are going away for a week, should have joined you at Nundle but will think of you all. Good luck to Sebastian hope you enjoy your week in Qld. See you later in the year Gai
That retreat sounds wonderful - wish I could join you all. Does your shop have a website?
Read your article, lots of things I didnt know like about the bears. Do you still sell kits or made bears. Looking forward to Christmas in July, I think I brought the terrible weather from Canada with me. It is freezing on the central coast. Have a great week with Sabastian.

Hi Kerry, sounds like you are having a very busy time at the moment. Your Xmas in July will be great I'm sure.
Have fun in "Sunny" Queensland.
Put me in the draw for sure. please
Hi Kerry, I enjoy reading your blog and one day hope to come to one of your retreats!!! On Friday the 13th I will be spending time with my children and hubby as he is about to go away for 5 weeks work in QLD. Will definately be a shock to the system not having him around... Looking forward to getting more sewing done though. Have a great xmas in July. from Pennie
Your christmas in July sounds great! My day will be very boring in comparison- just chasing munchkins and probably doing post-holiday washing as we will be back from up the Far North Coast of NSW the day before.
Have fun!
Hello All,
I hope your Christmas in July retreat goes well, I am sure it will. I will be home catching up on some sewing, as I have worked for quite a few extra days over the past few weeks. My dad is coming over from Orange soon, so may be he will be here on Friday 13th July. I hope I get to go to more Tuesday gettogethers next term! Hope you get some snow on the 13/14th July.

I wish I could be with you on Friday 13th. Not only does the retreat sound fun, but I have always wanted to go to Australia. :-D
Sounds like a great retreat! Wish I was somewhere near you. I will be just getting into the States from Japan. My poor husband is staying home and the 13th is our 27th wedding anniversery! That's the only way I could get inexpensive plane tickets! Boo Hoo!!!

Just found your blog - lots of lovely things to read about and a drawing too! On Friday the 13th I'll be trying to keep my little ones busy all day so that when they go to bed, I'll get some sewing time LOL
Just found your blog through Leanne. Wish I could join your retreat, it sounds like it will be fantastic. I spent the day studying (at uni) and chasing around for my teenage son.
