Hamtune Quilters were on tour again Sunday, this time we were at the Knitting and Stitching show at Alexandra Palace, fabulous day, personally this is my favourite venue with so many different craft stalls and once again the weather was fantastic. No problems with the journey this time lovely driver and as I told the coach company this morning there were 38 of us and the driver could have been toy boy to any one of us. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

Halkidiki

Well we have been back from holiday a week now, had a fab time, the photo with what looks like little pears on it are actually olives biggest olives we have ever seen. The other tree is a pomegranet and guess who besides myself is on a diet now!!! Now we are back it is all systems go to get packed for moving but if BT does not get our phone line fixed, we have been without phone for seven days now, I swear I will break into one of their vans and have a nervous breakdown!!!

still here

Seems ages since I put something on my blog, last week we were away in Suffolk for a few days, actually we were house hunting in Lowestoft/Oulton Broad as we decided we would like to live on the coast then when we came back we had an offer on our house, it had been on the market five days, then I got cold feet about moving away from family and many friends and my groups so we have been busy house hunting here, at the moment Irthlingborough is looking good. I have also done a bit of sewing the little quilt for latest addition to family, Betty-Boo, her xmas pressie and also notebook covers matching for notebook and ringbinder file, another xmas pressie. We are off to Greece on Monday for 2 weeks, hopefully for some more sun, so the next posting will be when I am back and hopefully will have some news on our house moving. Also there are still a couple of tickets for the trip to Alexandra Palace show, Sunday October 9th. if anyone is interested they can contact me, I shall be back on the 3rd October or else Kathy Lee has details.

Busy week

Had a good day at Bedford Quilters yesterday. did a workshop with Diana and made a pretty notebook cover, then in the afternoon the speaker was Marion Maul with a talk on english samplers, very interesting. Today my son and family came over with the new addition to the family, a nine week old Jack Russel puppy named Betty-Boo, she is gorgeous and they hinted she would like her own little quilt for christmas!! Tomorrow I have early dental appointment then it is our housegroup day meeting at Ann Harris's so that will be a good day then Tuesday evening Hamtune Quilters then Wednesday we are off to Lowestoft and Oulton Broad for a couple of days, we love retirement.

New addition to family!!
