Just got home last night from Girls Day in the Country at Nundle NSW, hosted by the ever-lovely Kerry Swain.
But wait there's more...the ever-talented Anni Downs from here was the guest tutor.
This is what greeted us on arrival...after saying 'Hi' to Kerry first of course! There was such a 'buzz all round the room...I felt like a school kid at their first birthday party!
Anni soon got us started on our choice of 3 specially designed projects for the day...I chose this one...yummy wool felt...we got the whole kit to complete this project in our goody bags. (This is Anni's...mine isn't finished yet...haha....too much talking!!! )
Some of Annis designs on display...it was great to see all the items I've admired on patterns and in her books actually 'in the real'....could touch and feel them....I was in HEAVEN.....I just looove Anni's work.
Check out the setting....those beautiful quilts hanging up in the background are some that last year's group completed as a pledge to make Anni's Gardeners Journal quilt, and have it completed by this year's GDITC....great job, girls. Pop over here and get a closer look at them.
And this was just the actual 'Day', the weekend was also full of dinners, meeting bloggy friends for the first time, special show and tell with the girls....you know who you are....and I might add that these special ladies who rock up each year to Kerrys GDITC are a fab bunch...made me feel so totally welcome....thankyou, thankyou, thankyou....
Special thanks to the bloggy Queen, she knows who she is, who made the link into blogland happen for me, and enabled these new exciting doors to open.......
Better go finish the purse now.....
