The girls REALLY, REALLY wanted to go. Parents (especially the male one) were a bit more dubious – especially as it costs almost as much as the camping site for the week AND it’s 90 minutes drive from Byron Bay.
BUT, I’m pleased to report, we DID go and the most amazing day was had by all.
In fact, I say, all FOUR of my children has an absolute ball. Even the youngest who is only 7 went on all the extreme rides! I was very proud of them (particularly as their Mum stood and watched for quite a few of them!)

This time last week I’d just finished helping Kellie at the Australian Quilt Market. And what an amazing couple of days it was! The response to Kellie’s designs was incredibly positive and the result is there are now loads of new stockists of her patterns – in fact you can now but them in every Australian state as well as NZ……along with a few existing UK and US stockists.
Note the gorgeous tablecloth that Kellie made ESPECIALLY FOR THE SHOW!!!
You can read more about it here and there’s a few other reports of Quilt Market here, here, here and here.
And here’s a sneak peak of Kellie’s amazing new quilt which will feature in the December issue of Homespun.

My parents came down on Tuesday to visit daughter No. 2 for her recent birthday but I was lucky enough to receive a a present as well!
Using the left-over wool from this gorgeous rug that she made, my Mum has crotcheted this divine throw, using a pattern from Sackville and Lane.
I LOVE IT! It’s meant for the other bed in this room at Sewjourn………
……..but it looks good on my couch at home at the moment………..
