Would you believe we came home on Sunday! A bit of a family drama, nothing serious and all I can tell you is you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family's partners!!
DH & DS did get in one day of gold panning while I headed off with Mum to her group's exhibition. The boys didn't find any gold but Mum and I had a lovely time. Here's a few snaps of some of the quilts
and my favourite, a gorgeous handpieced and hand quilted Red and Green Quilt
Mum gave the opening speech
and also entered some of her own work
she didn't win any prizes but it's lovely to see her work on display and being admired by others.
Congratulations to all of the Break O'Day Stitchers for a wonderful exhibition!
I also got to visit Annie's and picked up some xmas fabric for the Xmas in July swap, so I'm off to start cutting out my project.

Welcome back Jo. Family times away with interlinking members always tends to be a little bit strained. As you say can't choose our relatives. Friends are so much easier to hang with aren't they? Those quilts in your pictures are gorgeous and how exciting for your Mum to have some entries on display.
It sounds like you had a lovely time away over Easter - family troubles aside lol! Those quilts are simply georgous.
Best wishes,
Jenelle
What a shame you had to cut your holiday short, but at least you managed to fit some fun in first. I love the butterfly quilt at the exhibition, very pretty, and your mum's embroidery.
