Southern Textiles Conference

In Carol Wilkes workshop Ricci had a wonderful time and below are some of her samplers - aren't they great???

Our New Grandson - Charlie

Charlie was born on the 24 September 2013 in Melbourne and therefore is now a month old now - how time flies. And how he has grown in that month.
He is a beautiful boy and I miss him already. Hopefully we will see him next month here in Adelaide.

Charlie is SO much like his father when the same age

Charlie has won???

Well I have lost one sock - where is it my foot is cold

Charlie and his mum, Sarah - our daughter-in-law

Well here we go - can't wait till I can walk!!!

Southern Textiles

This was a National Textile Conference held here in Adelaide, South Australia last week. We had 40 participants and 4 tutors over a 4 day period,. The tutors were Carol Wilkes, Qld, Margery Goodall, WA, Effie Mitrofanis, NSW and Suzanne Gummow, SA. It was a very successful conference with everybody enjoying what they did.

Below are a few photos of the conference
