Over the weekend I took my sun starved self up to the Beautiful Bright in Victoria for their Spring Festival.

I was teaching along with Leanne Beasley, Rosalie Quinlan and Rhonda Shallcross to a wonderful group of ladies from far and wide…

there were the Narrandarah girls..

Nicole and Kim from Melbourne IMG_6017My long time Facebook friend Rose from Frankston and a new Facebook friend Andreia from Wagga Wagga. IMG_6019We made hexies, embroidered, stitched and sashiko’ed our way through the day. IMG_6020 a visit to Angela’s shop – Sew Bright Alpine Quilting around the corner was a must do…. but alas she sold out of Life Is Beautiful fabrics – never fear she hopes to get some more in..

Her Tilda display was to die for however… IMG_6046The girls made great progress on their Gran’s sewing box…. This pattern is now available here or in your local store..it comes complete with the 50 precut hexies to make your project.

Some of them are just planning to make their top into a doiley or appliqué it onto a large bag…

On Sunday before driving back down the highway to catch my flight home I had the morning to bask in the sunshine and visit some magnificent gardens…. just beautiful, I shall share some photos tomorrow

hugs for today and thanks for a great day Bright…
