Well, as we are nearly all linking to each other (not checking 59 blogs, but I'm sure we are), I thought I'd better fill the non-attendees that haven't seen it before- or at least keep myself a record!
My project started off well (and finished a lot of hrs later not very advanced)
despite a lot of material and hogging the table heehee
This was just the line for lunch!
There were amazing goodies- sponsors gave out gifts (Moda bakeshop jellyrolls, yum) and there was a show bag and pressies. And someone teasingly brought along ace fat quarters to buy- she sure bought them to the right place!
Oh, the bunny squares down the bottom are the start of a quilt, I got them cut out and fused onto Vliesofix (not the square! Good progress despite sitting next to Andi superstar!) I learnt some amazing tricks off her, though, like invisible thread in your bobbin for machine sewing you binding- might make no sense to some of you, but others will thank me right now for that tip. I sure loved it!Some other highlights
- A table of hexagonners (my new made up word)
- Prizes- a surprise as I forgot this was going to happen.
- Lunch- didn't have to think about it, loving that!
- A walk up to Clegs with lots of other bloggers
- Getting a spot at dinner, as having to go home alone after such a fun day would have been too much, I wanted more!
There are heaps of pics here and a who's who list here
Oh, Sheridan, how to thank you! You are the organising queen, and make me a very happy chappy!

Invisible thread in the bobbin... what???? I think I should have been taking lessons at your table too!
I haven't blogged yet but it's sure been fun stalking everybody's blog reading about everybody else's fun. great tip by the way.
You were quite productive Bec and I am sure if I ever brave doing a quilt I will thank you for that tip!
Lovely to finally put a face to the Beccasaurus blog.
Oh man, that's what I am! A hexagonner. Have started tonight on the gorgeous kit form Corrie.
Stop giving away all my secrets!!!
(Joking)
It was lovely to see you again.
Andi :-)
Wow what an amazing little get together full of like minded crafty ladies. I've never heard of this but it sure is popping up on alot of my favorite blogs. Sounds like fun.
I'm with Cam I should have been getting that lesson too. It was great to meet you Bec
Ha ha! Ernst is a back seat quilter: he just sat there peering over my shoulder telling me what to do! Aaah, I still love him though.
Thanks for reminding me of Andi's invisible thread tip too, it's a great idea.
How's my lunch bag coming along?
Looks like you had a great time Bec, I did not come down, maybe I'll go next year :)
Hope you got some good advice from Ernst.
Lovely to see those rabbits.
