Rob took me off on a surprise weekend....stayed at the Esplanade Motor in at Batemans Bay...had a suite overlooking the bay. It was great...very relaxing....and the strawberries and champers in the spa was great. On sunday we went off to the Mogo Zoo and saw the white lion cubs....they are so cute you just want to smuggle them home.....
We had dinner one night at the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club....if ever you are there ... trust me...the food is to die for.....

Great pressies....quilt from Annie (melbourne) and Jane (tumby) will post a pic...though i dont think it looks anything like me.....but what great friends....couldnt do better !!!

ufo update

Have been busy today handquilting some more of the round robin quilt from Picking Up Threads that we did last year....am adding some applique as i go.....as it was fairly plain before...but it is looking good so far......

This is a pic of a quilt i finished handquilting last month...is called * Windmills of my Mind * a design by Janine Matthews. I really enjoyed doing it...and just love the colours as well.....very happy with the way it turned out.....

Hope everyone had a great easter...and didnt over indulge in those lovely gooey choccy eggs....and hot cross buns.....
