Mothers Day

and the family is everywhere but here. I had a card from Elizabeth this morning without an envelope, phone calls from the boys. We Skyped with the granddaughters plus parents at dinner time.
My mothers day present is flights to and from Sydney and a weekend at Stroud (north of Newcastle) for a quilting retreat. I have started by pulling ALL the charm squares that I have from Rainbow fabric swaps including low volume and black and white charms. Also the Anna Maria Horner international charm square swap on flickr  - 224 charms in this swap alone.

HAVE YOU HEARD THERE IS A KATE SPAIN CHARM SQUARE SWAP

I've joined in and you can find all about it on Melissa blog. I have pulled fabric from my stash that has been sitting there for a while because any self respecting fabric hoarder will tell you the right project just hasn't presented its self yet. I've taken 2 spots which means I will get back 224 Kate Spain charms from my 4 metres of fabric.
