Isn't it amazing how time goes so fast when you are having fun. I am so glad you are enjoying your retirement. I know it makes me very very happy.
might see you there, Di, I may be lucky enough to go... we shall cross fingers and hope!
My you've been busy. Great work!
What on earth will you do with a piece of muslin and a button!! Looking forward to that one!
You have been a busy bee - it makes you wonder how you had time to work, doesn't it?
the quilts are lovely, the hexies ladies sis a great job, I'm intrigued what you can do with fabric and a button, and I'm exhausted after reading your post!!!!!
Love the quilts Diane and the hexies, but then I am a bit partial to hexies!! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the button and fabric. Love the postcards too!

Love your quilts and all the hexagons. Monkey Button bag patterns are irresistible. Your mug mats are going to be soo enjoyed.
Enjoy Malvern. I am going to give it miss this year owing to a new feline in the family, pity as I do enjoy it there.
