~Airing of the Quilts at Braidwood~

Last weekend Mr Armchair and JoJo and I went up to the historic village of Braidwood for their annual Quilt Event incorporating Airing of the Quilts

We parked outside this little place around the corner from the main road

Quilts in various windows on the street

I just had to have one of the Eiffel Tower olive oils from Laurel Brae

Quilts airing on the verandahs

This one was used as a tablecloth for Christmas goodies

A lovely little shop 'Little Finch' selling handmade goods

Check out the Christmas bunting here hanging in the window

looks suspiciously like Anni Downs fabric!!!

(please correct me if I am wrong as I have not seen this before)

And yes of course we had to buy some bunting

A lovely day out

and all too soon we ended up back at our starting point

Back home and here is the bunting all together in it's little box

The one that caught JoJo's eye is the one with the candy canes and yes Jennifer (at Little Finch) went through the boxes to find that specific one for her......

Thanks so much Jennifer!!!

~Needlework Group Projects~

Here are a couple of projects from my Needlework Group run by Fiona and assisted by Shirley

The first is a Baskets of Flowers zippered pouch in beige/red 

and another in green and brown

For a tutorial very similar to these go over here

An appliqued tea towel

Scissor Keep

and finally this bag with stitchery

I swear I have enough projects to last me forever but I can't help collecting them

And yes, I will get around to doing them!!!

This weekend there is an Airing of the Quilts up in historic Braidwood, the first town to be listed on the New South Wales Register 

And have fun gals to the ones going to Hatched and Patched at Bathurst for a blog meet......one of these days I will hopefully get there....

Happy Weekend....Dzintra xo
