Happy Father's Day!

Happiness should be your life's work,

not a vacation that you postpone

until you have more time.

Here's wishing all the Father's out there

a wonderful Father's Day today.

Every day is special but we have one day

in the year where we really acknowledge Father's.

My boy will be home later on today so he

will get all the spoiling he needs then. I have had

a wonderful weekend of sewing, knitting and travelling.

Every month Bev and I do a challenge of some sort.
In August we decided to do crazy patchwork...needed
to get rid of some scraps. I found an unusual pattern
and had a play around.

I saw a quilt made with this style patchwork and the
whole thing was the American flag. It was very effective and
I also can't remember where I saw it!! I'm very helpful.

I'm not really into green that much, but I thought this
colour brought out the whole design. I am happy with
it and happy lots of my scraps have been used.

Yesterday Heather & I went for a drive to a small
country town called Meckering. Out there is a special farm,
with a special barn called Collingully Barn.....it is full of
material. Friends kept saying to us for years...go out there!

This unassuming barn is full of material!!! The best! The
security alarm are the two farm dogs who bark like mad
when you drive into the place. When you go inside....

Can you spot young Heather in the striped jumper? This is only

some of the inside, I couldn't fit it all in one shot.

To the back and side of me, whilst taking this photo is

another room and a stack more materials, patterns, books etc.

I didn't take a photo of upstairs, there are beds up there and

quilts everywhere!!!

Collingully is a patchwork retreat and you can spend the weekend

there. We will be going back....soon. This is my stash.

Now that I have all this new material I will have to make

some more lovelies out of it. Hey catch up with you all

soon, I'm off to plan my next project and need to put the

kettle on to do so. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Kind regards, Anita.
