A wonderful weekend and thank you!

I have just got back from the most wonderful weekend.  Two fabulous Gail Pan workshops and an evening trunk show! It was fabulous....!!  I have had a long drive back today, so I have not had time to sort through all the photographs that I took but, I thought you might like a quick peek at a couple....

A display of Gail's beautiful quilts. They were so lovely in 'real life' and, I might have bought one or two patterns *wink* !!


I made some new quilting friends... we had a lot of fun and somehow or other Gail called our table the 'naughty' table... I don't really understand why but there was a lot of laughter from our corner!!  It was lovely to get to know you Wendy, Jill and Lynda!

 Thank you all for your lovely 'lucky' comments on my giveaway post.  I have closed the giveaway now and will be reading through them all. Then I will put all the names into a hat to draw the lucky winner.  I will announce the winner on Wednesday, when I will be back to tell you more about my wonderful weekend!

Gail was travelling back to Australia today, so I would like to say a big 'THANK YOU' to her for a wonderful weekend and I hope that her flight was a good one!
I should also add a big 'THANK YOU' to Karen of Patchwork Chicks and the other members of her team who organised the workshops and made it such a lovely occasion.

    It looks as if you had a great time, 'The naughty table' is always the best place to be. Great fun and lots of learning. The pictures look great, can't wait to see the pics of what you produced.
