Where there is love the heart is light, where there is love the day is bright. Where there is love there is a song To help when things are going wrong. Where there is love there is a smile To make all things seem more worthwhile. - Helen Steiner Rice

Where there is love
the heart is light,
where there is love
the day is bright.
Where there is love
there is a song
To help when things
are going wrong.
Where there is love
there is a smile
To make all things
seem more worthwhile.

BUT……I did manage to get a little done on my Baguette bag though…. 
It IS getting there……now only the lining and the handles to go! So some progress is being made….finally…….and that will mean a long term UFO is out of the pile!!!! YAY!!! 
On the weekend, we had a wonderful lady from Mackay come a tutor us for the weekend…she was A-MAY-ZING! We learnt how to design and gather design inspiration, then use different techniques to create our design and we learnt so much about what our machines could do!!!! 
It was such a fun weekend. I’ve never considered myself into art quilting, but boy, did I learn a thing or two….not that I’d change my style much,I’m still a stitchery gal, but I now am looking at some techniques quite differently!!! The most reluctant in our group were even free motion quilting with ease by the end of the two days……. Sue was really, really good to work with and easy to understand, so if your group is looking for a tutor, just email me and I’ll pass on her details! I can recommend her highly! Me with my design……taken from three lines and a leaf I got from a coffee cup, believe it or not!!!!!Sue, our tutor
embellished with scrap threads, and beading…..such fun!
I’m going to work my design into a cover for a folder to hold all my machine stitch samples in….something I’d always planned to do…….ONE day!!!!! LOL 
This week has been making curtains for our local Respite Centre as a donation from our Guild….. What a mess we make….. 
But what beautiful fabric to work with….. 
and we added our own ‘spin’….. 
A bit different to quilting, but we just had to add our own quilting style!!!! Don’t ya just love ‘them dots’??? Off to sew some more curtains…….two down……eight to go!!!! Sugary hugs :O)
