Making NODDERS with KERYN

This is what I got up to on Saturday.
After a fun Friday night being spoilt by Keryn and her hubby, Ross. I was looking forward to an exciting sewing day. I awoke to the beautiful smell of scones baking... Oh so yummy.
To start my day I came out to the kitchen to see the table set ready for the group that was soon to arrive...
All ready for morning tea.

The table is setThe view out the window was of the cute lambs. Yes, even the naughty one that were in the septic paddock. But we were assured by Ross they wouldn't get in there. Luckily there were no dramas, no one had to jump fences or chase them..
Good morning sheep

In the septic paddock

The students have arrived. Lorraine, a friend of Keryns who doesn't like her photo taken, Annie, who didn't go in the naughty corner and Mel. Some great blogging friends...
Morning tea time....
Just look at our morning tea....

Now into the sewing room.
A lovely gift bag for us all
There was a greeting goodie bag with our sewing pattern, a fat quarter, Chrissy decoration for the tree, bag of lollies (my hubby enjoyed them) and what was need to make our SANTA NODDER.

The head is on and the hat is being done.

Thanks for a great day/night Keryn.
You are a fantastic host, great cook and excellent teacher.
Hopefully Keryn will be holding more classes soon. Book in when you see them. Spots will fill fast and they are so worth it. 
Go have a look at Keryns blog. See what she makes and what's up for sale.
Get in ready for Christmas

My weekend at Phillip Island

I had a great time over the Mother's Day weekend at Phillip Island. The Patches group treated us well at The Island... There was about 130 women in attendance and all the classes were interesting and went well.
I spent up with bargains at the shops, ate well and sewed into the wee hours of the night...
I caught up with Kerryn from Christmas Creations...

We all know she doesn't like her photo taken. No Kerryn I won't show all the photos and embarrass  you.
Sorry Kerryn.  This will be the only one though.....

I also caught up with a lovely Mother daughter team, Margaret & Melanie, from the Yarra Valley. I hope to see more of them over the next year. I first met these lovely ladies last year and have been keeping in touch over Pineterst with Melanie. It was great to catch up with them....


My great tutor was Maureen Miller.


Her class was the Compass Rose table runner.

 This is my progress so far.


 This is where I got up to on Monday at my next sewing day..


Maureen did a fantastic job being our tutor with this class and I have put down for her leaf class next year.




 This is my second choice for next years classes. A lovely appliqué quilt...

I can't wait to go to the Island next year. Hope I get in...
