Further to my previous post on GDITC at Nundle once we entered the door we were greeted by these delightful boxes with our project from our Tutor for the day.......Lynette Anderson
Fabric in the box from her latest design
and all kitted out ready to start!!!
The project was a bag and this is the front of it
the back
and my first hexagon!!!
Upon entering the Hall I spotted this quilt called 'Waiting for Santa' by Lynette and thought it looked very, very familiar
As it was I had seen it before in another version at Braidwood and fell in love with it there also
Needles to say I bought the pattern and have it set aside to start one of these days!!!
The centrepiece on the table
There was a Show and Tell featuring Lynette's made up items and I showed off my Simple Stitches needle case
Kerry hosted a Friendship Swap which was a needle case designed by Lynette
and Lynda received mine
I received mine from Suzie
Pic taken with Lynette
Some of Lynette's quilts on display
This one is Love Letters and I'm very tempted to do this
Perhaps next year when I go back!!!
There was a Show and Tell later that evening and here I am together with Chookyblue showing off our Gardener's Journal Quilts by Anni Downs
Note the different colours......Chooky has done hers in all greens
Some Kind of Wonderful also by Anni
A group photo of us all
And the most exciting thing for JoJo was the next morning when Bruce McCumstie was telephoned by the owners/managers of the Cabins we stayed at and requested if he would come down and sign a CD that he is featured on!!!
Jo Jo purchased the CD in Nundle and it is called 4 Highwaymen depicting
Willie Nelson who Bruce was,
Waylon Jennings......Rob Wilson
Johnny Cash......Alan Bowles
Kris Kristofferson.....Bryen Williams
Thank you so much Fossicker's Rest and Bruce!!!!!!
Have been very busy here in the local production of 'Allo 'Allo by Bay Theatre Players and will be back to post on that!!!

GOOD MORNING DZINTRA! Oh what a gorgeous way to be greeted by those aqua boxes! Bright and happy are they! And my favorite color! Those darling needle "books" are so adorable, and they remind me of the cloth books I used to have!
JoJo looks super excited and what fun for you all! You seem to enjoy a lovely time outdoors and with so many activities to partake in. We had YET MORE SNOW come down last night....quite a large amount. So this is putting a hold on our spring but I will keep hoping!
Hugs to you today, and enjoy all you do! Anita
