More Mt Tenandra 2011

Some more pics to share of a great weekend.

For those who don't know, I live in a rural area but I was born & raised in the city...not too citified...but definitely no farm girl...but I do try to fit in! At the weekend I was fortunate enough to visit the home of Chookyblue...certainly a slice of heaven!

I saw Curly Pops who was very friendly (and vocal!) and recovered from her recent trauma...

the famous chook that laid the blue egg...and soaked in the tranquility of the farm.

I even had to put out signs on the road! 

 Saw the emus that live near her place & found a calf tangled in wire. I had fun...and was VERY excited about my mid life transformation to farmer Cardy! UNTIL I was told I had the wrong shoes!!!! Since when don't cute soft little black ankle boots with bows look like farm shoes???? Oh well...maybe next time!

Lots of stitching...

Chookster and her JR challenge quilt...

 Dale with Prints Charming fabrics...so fresh and pretty...

Kerry...

me...

Lots of fun...a little more still to come!

Mt Tenandra 2011

Funny how fast a year really goes!

It really doesn't feel like it has been a whole year since I hit the road and met with Chookyblue, Peg, Dale, Kerry, Nicole and the super grown up Fairy Girl at beautiful Mt Tenandra in rural NSW.

BUT IT WAS!

But that meant it was time to see them again...yay!

So bright & early on Friday I hit the road and headed north west to see some of my favourite women.

It is a four hour drive for me, so I met Kerry and Nicole part way and then had some company for the remainder of the trip. We chatted our way out west via Quirindi ( for groceries, bargain shopping and even a compliment!... gotta love those country gents...), and then through Coonabarabran, the Warrumbungles and finally to Mt Tenandra in time for lunch...mmm quiche from Chookyblue's eggs!

Lovely days and nights filled with friendship, laughter, amazing food and lots of sewing...bliss!

And no, Sandy, the geese did not take flight when the corks were popped! cheeky!

REALLY sewing from dawn to long past dusk...

Here is a quick peek...more to come! Such fun...thanks ladies ,you are the BEST!
