Quilting In The House!

This is what I walked into yesterday after returning to Quiltville Inn from....

Well, my totally unnecessary drive to Boone BECAUSE - when I got there, I found they had tried to call me when I was in Australia, and of course that didn't go through because I was only connected when I had wifi at the hotel.

If I was out and about, forget it.

Anyway - they rescheduled me for next month and so I ran a couple of errands and came home.

BUT!  Quilting Is Happening once again at the inn!

Giant tumblers for the win!

More 16 patch blocks to be laid on the front foyer design floor -

This is becoming a table runner for a very long table -

And there will be more to show as the days go on - The February Quiltvillians are in full production mode and there are yummy smells coming from the kitchen as well.

Check out this sweet face!

One of our excursions on Philip Island out of Melbourne was to visit the Koala Conservation Reserve.

We came face-to-face with koalas in their natural habitat along the treetop boardwalks through the Australian bushland.

It was also about 100 degrees in the shade - 

I grew up in California and the smell of eucalyptus trees is buried in my childhood memories and one I instantly recognize. Best smell ever - especially after a rain storm.

It was wonderful to walk along these boardwalks at "Koala level" in serach of sleeping bundles in the tress.

Hello, little one!

Knees and elbows.  LOL!

Little furry pudgy bottoms.

This was just marvelous!

Do pink ear tags mean they are girls?

Hello, up there!

Remembering when -

I was in Junior High and High School in the  late 1970s, and the girls were OBSESSED with these clip on koala bears!

If you didn't have one clipped to your clothing or in your hair, you were a nobody!

I remember having one clipped to the handles of my purse. I wonder whatever happened to it?

If the gift shop carried them, I would have brought one (or more) home with me. Good memories.

So today - return trip to Boon to the dermatologist.

Thankfully it's a morning appointment and I'll be back to the inn just past lunch tine.

What's going on in your world?

This happened - did you see it?
If you haven't started your Old Town yet - did you enter?
This time I even included the paint chips in the pattern. It's ALL in there, even the printable paper piecing templates for the square-in-a-square star block centers, and the small flying geese for the pieced sashings.
And YES - there is introductory pricing for those who have been waiting to start their own Old Town when it was released in pattern format.
The price is already marked 25% off and is good through 2/17/25 at 11:30pm Eastern time. No coupon needed.
International customers:  Please DO NOT USE THE BUY NOW BUTTON. It uses autofill to put in your mailing address. This causes a problem with international folks as I do not ship physical items internationally.
Instead - place the pattern in your shopping cart, and go to the cart directly to choose your payment option (Which does not use autofill) Things should work fine for you this way. You do not need a physical mailing address to receive a PDF file. Just your email.
