Great Weekend !

Well, our weekend away was fantastic as it always is.  Had some rain which caused a couple of the activities to be cancelled but the organisers then went to one of the other plans they had up their sleeve just in case. On Saturday morning we were due to take a drive down the range from Toowoomba to the home of C W Racing but because the area was too wet and muddy for our cars, we went to plan B, a mystery run around the back streets of Toowoomba.  Armed with a map and directions we headed off.

We had three stops and at each one we had to do some sort of activity. At one stop, I had to see how many clothes I could put on in 60 seconds. I was able to put on 7, the man before me managed 13. I'm sure if it had been wrapping myself in quilting material I would have won hands down. I must say not the most glamorous photo I've ever had taken although maybe the blue hair might be an improvement.
We had a free afternoon so was able to do a bit of my secret stitching, have almost finished the embroidery part now.  I also managed to get to the Quilters Angel at Highfields. I was able to find a few goodies which just had to come home with me.
Goodies :  Teddy strip, Kasuri fabric to go with the jelly roll I have in my stash, Cottage Garden thread and small blue heart hanger. 
Saturday night, we had a lovely dinner at the Toowoomba Showgrounds with a band and dancing afterwards.

Sunday morning was the Show and Shine in the street, after that we had a farewell luncheon at the show grounds. We then all headed in different directions for home. In all another wonderful weekend.


Above are a few of the cars in the street. Luckily the rain kept away for this event
Sorry about the photo overload, well must go, it's nearly time to do the afternoon school pick-up.
Till next time........  Happy stitching.............
