I've done it

Yep, I've done it.  I have resigned from my day job!  Big step here, as we still have one child in boarding school and one at Uni, Number 1 has  now graduated and is working in central Queensland.  I have really enjoyed my day job and will be sad to leave BUT, and there is always a but, now I get to qwilt for my living (or school fees anyway).  I have promised myself a trip to Adelaide for the AMQ festival in September so keep your fingers crossed this foray into being self employed doing what I love best is successful.

I did get a little bit of patchwork done recently, this is a quilt for Hayley who is expecting a baby brother or sister in around 6 weeks!  Gotta love me and my sister, and yes, there is something for the new baby in the pipeline.....

Just needs some binding!

A date with Ricky Tims!

Head on over to the AMQ Festival blog to check out a day with Ricky Tims!  I'll be there with bells on!  This festival is being held in beautiful Adelaide in late September 2012, lots to learn, do, see and meet.  As a new longarmer, I can't wait and have started putting a little bit away from every quilt to get me there.
