Awesome day

We are still here in Canberra for another day but I really want to tell you about the wonderful day we had on Saturday. Sarah, our lovely hostess, suggested we register and take a quick course at the Glassworks Gallery. She registered us for a glass fusion class! Off we trotted to the class and we made a postcard size fused glass decoration. I was so excited to do this but we cannot pick up our masterpieces until Wednesday but by then we will be in Adelaide. Sarah will pick them up and send them off to us.

Now, I have to apologize, I cannot seem to get any pictures uploaded at this time so I will post later. AND we have been without internet for a few days, hence the delay in getting this online.

On Saturday we also went to a Craft and Quilt show. All of the Quilts were spectacular but no photos permitted. One of the women who made a beautiful copper-coloured quilt first bleached the pattern and then added various stitches to make the design stand out. She has been invited to take her quilt for showing in Houston Quilt in November. What an honour!!

A display from the Canberra Doll group was interesting. Seems they have been using polymer clay for dolls but nothing as wonderful as some of our dolls in the Coast Character Doll Artists!! Canberra's display does not compare to the fabulous display our Guild presented.

It was home and dinner and off to bed. Another great day coming up..

Thank you for following our great big adventure.....

Nancy Q & April too
