I have had a wonderful afternoon with my sewing friends. There are three September birthdays between us and one more in December, so we celebrated this-afternoon with a pot-luck lunch, wine and coffee! My friends gave me the beautiful flowers, chocolates and lovely cards - THANK YOU girls, I have had a great Birthday! One card in particular is very clever!
Yesterday, I had morning tea with my Sister, Mum, Niece and little Bridget. We had a delightful time, especially with Bridget entertaining us. It was my Niece's birthday yesterday and it is my other little Great-Niece's birthday tomorrow, September 12th. Chloe will be 4. I have been on a wonderful shopping expedition, searching for all things Butterflies. The party theme is Caterpillars and Butterflies! Chloe lives in Toowoomba, which is about an hour and a half (132 K's) from Brisbane, heading West. I'm going to help with the party and have a sleep-over. There are some great patchwork shops in Toowoomba, so I am hoping to get up there early and check them out!
BRIDGET'S NEW CLOTHES:- Remember those little shorts - well, here are the finished outfits! I bought the little Tee's at K-Mart and just sewed the patches by machine onto the fronts. B.B. (beautiful Bridget) seemed to like them and ended up wearing the "hula hula" tee-shirt home from the coffee morning. My Niece will let me know which pair of shorts fits the best and then I will make some more. It was amazing to see the difference in the sizes between the shorts pattern I used 13 years ago and the new pattern I bought recently. Size 2 was much bigger when I made shorts for my own son (who is now 15).
Tonight we are having "take-away" Chinese food and a nice bottle of red -- but not too much of the red, as I want to be up early and on the road to Toowoomba.
Happy Stitching!
Glad you enjoyed it. Just wait until we hit the coast.
