I spent January making a quilt for the AQC challenge-Magic. I called my quilt The Magical Coral Reef! Imagine my surprise when it won viewer's Choice.

At the end of February I went to Japan with my husband and son for 2 weeks. We had a wonderful time but it was sad to say goodbye to my son Cam, who is going to live in Kobe for 12 months teaching English.

When I got home from Japan, I went to Adelaide to visit my remaining brother and while I was there the Adelaide Quilt and Craft Fair was on. I got to see the amazing quilts of Danny Amazonas.

In the last month I have been to Kyabram, Canberra, Yarrawonga and Bairnsdale. It has been so busy.
In Bairnsdale we had the Victorian Quilters Autumn Gathering.
I was in Canberra for the opening of the SAQA Connections Exhibition for the Oceania region. I was absolutely thrilled to be accepted.

This is a snapshot of what I have been up to. Hopefully I will take some time in the coming weeks to give some more details.
Of course there are 3 little people that also take up a lot of time, but they are such a joy.
I am sorry if I haven't taken the time to comment on people's blogs but I have been keeping up.
Bye for now,
Linda
