A pic of my new shoes...and how I just love them!!!
I went to a Melbourne Cup Fund Raiser luncheon on Tuesday with 2 of the girls I met at a workshop...
the shoes were perfect...
Me with one of the workshop gals, Karan...
Deb who happens to live not far from me...
and my good friend Fiona...
We all wore a piece of headgear which is standard for Melbourne Cup day...
I put a string of roses and fluffy stuff onto a headband...
Karan did the same...
and Deb did a flower and fascinator fabric...
A great day...lots of sweeps and raffles...and a fantastic fund raiser for Motor Neurone Disease by Quota Club... Thank you Jan (our workshop teacher) for inviting us!!!
That wasn't the end of the day...
I had respite care that afternoon for JoJo...Deb had invited us to go back to her place to have more champagne...and blow me down...she showed us her quilts...
Deb has only been quilting for 2 years and look at all this...and this isn't all she has made!!!
We were all gobsmacked!!!
There are 2 of the above quilts...one for her and one for him...
the front of another quilt...
the back of it...

I think this is Deb's first quilt...
Deb showed us this and said it was her first go at free motion quilting...
she didn't quite know what to do with it and I suggested it would make a lovely table runner...
Well, Quilters generally being very kind and generous...
she folded it up and gave it to me!!!
How beautiful is that...I love it Deb and thank you so very very much!!!
It looks great on my table!!!
A fantastic day with new friendships being made...
and we are talking of sewing days...getting together...catching up next year at more workshops!!!
And I still love my shoes...I just had to put another pic in!!!

It sounds like you had the best day. Debbie has certainly jumped in with both feet. Very inspiring. I can see why you love your new shoes.
Your shoes are adorable! And what lovely ladies you were able to be with. And Deb's quilts were awesome, and the 'table runner' free motion 'quilt' topper was such a sweet thing for her to give to you.
Thank God for kindred friends!

I had to smile at your description of your headwear. Sounds like the perfect day out and fundraising for a excellent cause.
