Well that’s good news finally!

Yorke Peninsula Council advises that the Ardrossan/Arthurton Road has now been reopened to traffic.
Motorists are reminded to observe all speed restriction signage, which will remain in place for the period required by the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT).
Council thanks residents and road users for their patience and cooperation during the road closure and reopening process.

Yesterday I hosted a workshop for a cheerful group of ladies visiting from the NYP Quilters group. It was a great day & I’m pleased to say that most were going home with the stitching & appliqué completed. Well done ladies 👏👏👏

Yesterday after an early start, I headed off along with Michelle White for the drive to Gawler. We were the invited designers for the day at Cynthia's Ark retreat ‘Totally in Stitches’ in the Hewitt Centre at Gawler. It was such a fun day, caught up with familiar faces & met some new ladies. The venue was in a lovely spot near a creek we even spotted a family of eight little ducklings 🦆 Cynthia was well organised had a great band of helpers & the food was plentiful. My project for the day introduced the ladies to a little Sashiko with several designs to choose from. Thank you for having me ❤️

I’ve had a lovely few days away spending time with special friends at Craft Alive checking out the Festival of Quilts display & of course all the craft stalls 🛍️ 😊
I was thrilled to share a win on 2 quilts both in the 2 person category. 3 quilts were entered by my client Helen who was very excited to win a first & a second place. Helen also won a special ribbon ‘ Retaining the Tradition’ on Childs Play’
I was also happy to spot a finished quilt by Denise from a class I taught at a SAQuilters workshop awhile ago called ‘Spinning Spokes’

Today is the launch of Tilda’s lovely new collection called ‘Something Blue’
Unfortunately my website is having technical issues today, of all days 🤷‍♀️
In the meantime while we work on the problem behind the scenes here is what I’ve made using mostly the dark & light blues from this collection. So so pretty 😍
