From Down Under!

It was the hottest day of the year so far here!  And the hot temperatures were a welcome home coming for the lovely visitor I had to class this morning!

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!

Goodies from Marie!

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?!

    Just 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)

    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?
