An Autumn Gathering


Tasmanian Stitcher's were very lucky yesterday as they had a wondeful gathering hosted by The Quilted Crow ladies Leonie and Deirdre. The gathering was held at a quaint little town in the South of Tassie called Campania. Guest stitcher's were Tassies's very own Helen Stubbing and Woy Woy's, Natalie Ross. Both of these ladies had terrific projects for us enthusiastic crafters to produce. Leonie and Deirdre also had some special projects for us to recreate....I will share all of their goodies in my next post.

Here are some of my purchases...yes there was a shop presence there, thank goodness....
Shopping, stitching, cupcakes, lollies, cups of tea, nobody calling "Mum" and the best Vegetable Lasagne I have ever tasted....what more could a girl want....

The Campania Hall was beautifully decorated with Helen's, Natalie's and The Quilted Crow's outstanding quilts....

Sarah and myself learning the finer details of needle-turn. Thanks Natalie....it was great to meet such a happy and enthusiastic crafter....
