weekend recap.

i've been working hard to finish a quilt i started only a week ago. the top is done, and i'm just now emailing my friend jeannette to work out the details. her longarm quilting is great and i confess, at 90" square, a professional quilting job would be the way to go. that, and my shoulder would probably never forgive me if i tried to quilt now!

but i'm still not going to show it to you. sorry.

well, okay, you can see a corner.

this past weekend i was quite busy, but in the best way. on friday we managed to get piper to bed before my husband's brother came over for dinner, which meant we had actual adult conversation. i feel like a puppy in these situations. i get so excited just to talk to someone without punctuating my sentances with admonishments. it's quite tragic!

saturday was the sydney modern quilt guild - i'm so pleased with this guild, honestly. i love our venue (thank you viv!), i love the girls who attend, and even though it won't always be mine, i'm so glad i've been a part of making it a real group. we aren't all strictly modern but we accept and encourage all quilters with an interest in modern quilting to come along and visit. i haven't missed one yet!

saturday afternoon we met up with some friends who have just had their first baby, a little girl. it was a nice occasion for coffee, and to see our friends once more. it's harder to get out there with kids, that's for sure!

on sunday, we went out for coffee as a family. mr poppleton & piper pulled some faces.

owen was beautiful

piper was a ham

and there was a smartie cookie involved. piper seemed intent on getting the chocolate first. her concentration is incredible!

that was it for my weekend. how was yours?
