What a fantastic day I had yesterday, it was The Quilted Crow's Xmas Gathering! I stitched, chatted, caught up with friends, made new friends and even met up with some Tassie Bloggers thus making more new friends. My Mum accompanied me on this trip, she enjoyed herself and wants to come along to the next one. So here's some pics from the event.
First Up is the group of Tassie Bloogers, apart from one,Harmony Junkie, who was taking the pic. Left to right (Back) Me, Hugs n' Kisses, Stitchin School Girl, My Beautiful Girls, Lizzie's Page, (Front) Auntie's Quaint Quilts, Highland Quilter and If only I had chocolate. Check out their blogs for more great photos.
Guest tutors for the day were Annie Downs of Hatched and Patched and Natalie Bird from The Birdhouse(no Blog but I worked on her!) Some great projects were on offer, with all the chit-chat, shopping and eating I really didn't get much done. These are a few of the projects we could choose from
Bag by Annie Downs
Wool Felt Xmas Baubles by Annie Downs
Wool Felt Cones by Leonnie (Quilted Crow)
Xmas Trio by Natalie Bird
The Shop, where I bought lots of goodies but I'll post about them next time!
Iwas really tired afterwards but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Some of us bloggers arranged our own little swap doing 6 of one design of the xmas baubles so we'll all end up with a full set.
And last but not least, here's a pic of the original Angel's Story Quilt made by Annie Downs, it was great to see how it was quilted. Did you know that Annie prefers to do all her quilting by hand, it is so beautiful and her stitching is perfect. I took along my blocks and showed Annie, she loved the colours I chose and I have to send her a photo of the completed quilt.

looks like it would be so much fun. what a great day that would be.
And to think that I have something from The Quilted Crow all the way over here in the U.S.!! I just love those ornaments.
Looks like you had a great time. I loved your comment about working on Natalie regarding a blog! I nagged my favourite shop owner and now she blogs! (It's not really nagging. Mostly encouraging and explaining. And I'm so keen for everyone to blog because it is so much fun!!!)
