One of our many meal times.













Well, what a weekend we had! We gathered at the Boolbbonda Memorial Hall at 8.30am on Saturday with the intent to have fun, and fun we had! We ate, sewed, talked, ate, laughed, talked, cried, ate, and sewed some more. We were honored to have Trevor and Ivey from Van Cotten’s of Howard bring their shop to us. We had fabric and thread at our finger tips to start a new project as we felt the urge. We were entertained by the antics of our good friend Barb who throw lollies at everyone who laughed at her. We were spoiled with great food and plenty of it. We would just finish one meal and we would be called for another! Pene did a great job keeping the food coming. Trevor was great at washing up when he wasn’t cutting fabric for us. Then Sunday breakfast came with a surprise when our cook showed up in a very pink frilly apron. Poor Julie just couldn’t cope with that and nearly lost control of herself! But the bacon, eggs and sausages were worth it.
Thank you to everyone who came to visit us over the weekend. Weather you came to shop, talk, cook, wash up or just sticky beak, you all helped make our weekend the success that it was. We will be doing it all again next March. If you want a fabulous weekend, do yourself a favour and book in with Pene now.

This quilt was going to be a "bath mat". But it grew and grew into a good size quilt. It turned out so well that it has now been donated to Gin Gin Lions Club to be raffled to raise funds for the Medical Research Personality Quest.
This is another cuddle quilt made for the Gin Gin Lions Club. This quilt top is very special. The top was sewn together by Maria’s nieces, Monique (13) and Maya only 6 years old! What a wonderful job they did and they were very proud to think they were doing something to help make a sick child feel better. Congratulations girls!
