Marie started following my blog 2 years ago, and while she lives in Oz most of the year, we had the privilege of meeting for the first time a year ago. She creates the most beautiful quilts, which you can see here on her blog.
It was so lovely getting Aussie hugs from Marie again (even though she's a fellow Irish woman!), and just look at the goodies she brought!
This is such a beautiful Jen Kingwell pattern that I definitely want to have a go at! And I already have a wee project in mind for those gorgeous fabrics.
Thank you Marie for taking precious time out to come see me. 2 summer meet ups means we've definitely established an annual tradition, right?!
Jude xo

ReplyDeleteJust catching up on the last week - love the new class samples, how nice to get a visitor, and I'm not showing my dad that photo from the beach at Holywood or I'll end up with a trip down amnesia lane... ;o)
ReplyDeleteLovely meeting with friends; as Nicky said, seeing the original GW was amazing, definitely on my to do list!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you both had fun!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. For a moment I thought Nicky was telling you she'd seen the original you!
Yes, you have to come to Australia to visit Marie! We would love to have you. How hot was your hottest day? 30C or hotter even than that?
