I love surprises!

Last Sunday I had a wonderful opportunity to meet some lovely and talented women from the Handmade Magazine Craft Forum. Now, if you aren't a member of the forum - go join! We have alot of fun, and participate in a wide variety of great swaps.

Anyway, I had a lovely afternoon meeting Vicki, Sharon, Glenys, Trish and Gina, and sharing show and tell, and chatting about, well, craft!

(Back row- Sharon and Glenys. Front row from left to right - Me, Vicki, Trish and Gina.)

But we did have an alterior motive for the meeting, which was unknown to Vicki. You see, Vicki organises the majority of the swaps on the craft forum, and puts in alot of her own time and effort to do this. So, we thought it would be nice to thank her - so we made her a secret quilt!

And on Sunday, we suprised her with it. And she was suitably awe struck and amazed!

I hope you get many years or enjoyment from it Vicki!

Onto other news, block 4 in Stringybark Farm is coming tomorrow! And only 5 more posts till my giveaway - excited, much?

I'm also wondering if anyone would be interested in a Hexagon swap? I've recently discovered quite a fetish for these little beauties. I mean, how can you resist this bit of loveliness?

Oh, be still, my beating heart.

Did you notice my new blog layout?? Did it just 'specially in time for my 100th post celebrations. Love it!
