A big thank you to everyone for visiting me this week and especially those of you who left a comment to be in the draw for my new pattern - Threads of Friendship. The pattern is all finished and will be picked up from the printers on Monday. So........congratulations to Linda April 12 at 11:19PM and Tina April 14 at 01:08PM. I'll contact you by email to get your snail mail addresses to send your little parcels next week.
It's been a hectic week, a huge charity quilt to finish quilting and loads of interruptions, not to mention that I'm being driven CRAZY by Monty our gorgeous cockatiel. (As I type this he's letting me know the microwave is finished. He mimics everything) I've brought his cage inside tonight because it's a bit cold and he's been screeching outside all day. Worse than a dog barking, I can tell you. If anyone has any hints on how to keep him just a little bit quiet, I'd love to know. (Now he's whistling his own little tune, a kind of cross between the national anthem and the adams family song - he's a mad bird). Here's a photo of his visitor tonight. Do you think Norman is asking him to be his friend or his dinner?
He stretched his wings and went to visit my Leanne's house quilt hanging in the family room. (bit blurry but you can see he's quite handsome and very proud of his tail feathers)
We'll be in the garden all weekend getting it ready for Manda's big 30th birthday bash next Saturday. She's invited 'everyone back to the oldies to celebrate into the night'. Should be fun!
til next time, happy stitching and thanks for visiting

Hey Chez,
I have traced some of the scrappy challenge blocks onto interfacing and am sorting and cutting scraps to get started.. I have heaps of work for my day job(!) and want to play with some sewing!! Monty is a bit cute - but unless you know the words it is a tad difficult to sing along!! Have fun.
