Saffrons Blog

It has been a while since I left Sydney, I am a girl who loves the open spaces of the country and being on the road for a drive. So I went up the coast to meet up with fellow quilters Kate Conklin and Rebecca Johnson both of who write blogs that I love to read. They also both design quilts and successfully sell their patterns nationally and internationally. Thanks for having me girls. It was a fun show and tell. Kate’s wheels got spinning when she saw the new Bird Tree range. I am so looking forward to her ideas for this fabric range as she's done amazing things with the Fairies and the Forest Elementals.
 
As we were leaving we started to talk about having a retreat where we actually get some time to sew and maybe even make a quilt! I think a night away would be great. Coincidentally on the fat quarterly blog I read this article on how to host a retreat. Maybe we will start small and build up.
 
Other some other interesting things that have happened this week:

My first work experience request, which I had to decline, mainly because my studio is a tad tiny.
Made a few cushions with my new fabrics.
I caught a cold and developed a very sore throat.
My daughter was an angel. Only mildly covered herself in texta tattoos.
Patrick had to cook for 10 days straight, do the school run and all my work as well as his own.
Got to read a book and watch a movie in bed. Pretty much everyday.
Discovered tinned peaches do not hurt my throat.
I was fast asleep by 8pm every night. I woke up at 8am, not the usual 6.
When tree branches hit electricity wires from strong winds they spark  in the dark night sky and fly so very far.
