Lavinia and the Mystery Blonde

This delicate beauty is named Lavinia. She is a very sweet girl and everyone admires and loves her because she is such a pleasant person. Lavinia isn't a family member, more of an outsider and with all that red hair she should have a fiery temper but, she is just so adorable. She dances like a dream too.



But.........

Who is the mystery blonde? She has been whipping them gals into formation and they will soon be ready to enter the blogosphere in all their glory. Not long to wait now.



Another word added to the sampler - Romance.



We were a small and select group at Kate's on Wednesday as 3 out of 6 were away on holiday. Rosemary is having way too good a time in Australia having been invited to join Elyte at Quilts in the Barn and The Quilted Crow sewing day. We are not jealous of course, well, not much, o.k., yes we are. Rosemary also got to meet Sue-Anne too and I was forced to shed a tear because the excitement they all had was quite clear.

Pat is busy making cot quilts as she is expecting no less than 3 great grandchildren this year.



This is the centre of a quilt that Kate is making for her quilting retreat ladies to enjoy making this weekend. The fabrics are hand dyed. If you head over to Kate's web site and look under workshops you will see the quilt. I am still waiting for you to tell me you are coming to sew at Kate's and then I can come along too.



The weather here is like a perfect summer's day. There have been bright blue skies without a cloud in sight and oh! so warm. Hope it is being kind to you wherever you may be.

Happy Stitching.

Love Shirley.
