This was the venue for the Galong Patchworker's weekend at the tranquil St Clement's retreat. This venue run by the catholic church encourages promotion of Art and the setting is wonderful with many works of art on display including this one...
WOW!
Happy campers - above and below
Thanks girls for the fun weekend
I then travelled to Bathurst for two more days as a guest of the delightful Anni Downs from The Home Patch. It was so wonderful to get to know Anni better. I have always admired her unique style and it was so wonderful to share our experiences as a teacher, author and fabric designer and about how we both seem to chase our tails all the time - you couldn't meet a nicer person. Thankyou Anni for your wonderful hospitality and caring nature XX
Such a GORGEOUS shop
Thankyou girls for coming and for putting up with my William Morris obsession!
So to the "Announcement": I am going to be reducing my commitments over the coming months and I have already reduced one of them by no longer representing Pfaff - this will free up some much needed home time. I am also trying to reduce some of my teaching and I am no longer providing patterns for shops (apart from Block of the Month sets).
So homeward bound tomorrow for planning more new designs, completing some old ones and for enjoying the company of family and friends once again (and catching up with those who have been unwell). See you soon X
I hope you recover from your fall quickly.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the future.
I do hope the lost box turns up soon.
I do hope you are getting the 'zip' back in your step after your fall, Michelle. It sounds to me like you need to stop and smell the roses, so it's good that you are homeward bound for some time to yourself, and family. I do hope that you don't grind to a teaching stop, as it is high on my list to get to a workshop of yours (somewhere...lol). I guess the Pfaff committment was rather a large one, and you were a wonderful ambassador for the brand.....I expect next time we hear from you , you'll be well rested, and re-focussed .....oh, and by the way....you and Anni in one photo places my two most favourite and inspiring Australian designers in the one shot...... ....hugs...Sandy
ReplyDeleteGlad you are finally home, and hopefully with legs up and resting. Thank you for the most marvellous weekend, Michele. I learnt so much from you. You were truly inspirational.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your well-earnt break. I look forward to seeing more of you and "William Morris" in the coming years. It has been a honour and a privilege to be able to attend your class.
Also hoping that your lost box turns up soon, Hugs Sandra
