Catching up with friend plus fitting in a workshop at Carinda NSW.

 

Cathy and her daughter Louise
 Spent a wonderful week end at Carinda teaching "Circle Play" and "No Rulers No Rules".

One of the special things about going out to Carinda was that I got to catch up with friends, It has been over 25 year since I have been out this way. I stayed with Cathy and Oz plus Belinda came out for  the week end, we had a few late nights catching up.

 The first day we had the Circle Play class. Every one enjoyed them selves. We had a good range of colours working through out the class, no ones work was the same.

 Country colours for a table runner

  Helen had lots of fun playing with her colours

 Rachel had soft pinks and oranges

 Ret was bold with her brights

 Black, white and red is always a good colour choice.

Sorry Louise but I couldn't get the photo to rotate, Cathy and Louise's quilt. Have to wait and see who ends up with the quilt. Belinda thought she should have it for helping with the cutting and pressing. Louise after a hard day at class, Time to relax in Dads lounge chair.

 

The second day we had "No Ruler No Rules". This class is a lot of fun. The ladies found it hard to believe that they could do any thing and it was OK.

 Ret had a lot of old blocks she didn't like any more so we cut them up and added slashes here and there.

 Faye had a lovely big pile of scraps to work with. She had a heap of fun trying to use them up.

 On the second day we got Belinda sewing. She was very proud of the piece she made

 Jody was working with Plaids and stripes. It was looking good. Jody also used a lot of little blocks left over from anther quitls.

 Shading from pink, purple to blue.

 The class at the end of the week end. We all had a wonderful time.

After the week end I had to go back to Pilliga to pick Doug up. He had the week end with his mum. (He wasn't too keen on a week end of sewing. Why I don't know). I went for a drive through Come-By-Chance on the way. This is a photo of Comby. Its a big place.
After Pilliga it was off to mum's at Baan Baa. On the way back to mum's we caught up with more family and friends. We have had a lovely time. Then it was time to head back to Toowoomba.
