Our Burra Quilting Visitors

Today we had the delightful pleasure to host a luncheon for our visiting quilting ladies from Burra, and surrounding areas. They arrived around 11.30 this morning, and after a Show and Tell,  we sat down and enjoyed a wonderful spread. It was nice to sit and catch up with fellow quilters.  They are on a Mystery Tour, and Woodpatch is one of several places they will be calling in to over the next couple of days.

I was lucky enough to know two of the ladies  - Susan and Deb - from a quilting forum I belong to on line, and we had fun catching up on the latest gossip!

I think I speak for all there today; we had a great time, and would love to have them back again!

Cheers
Roseanne and Sandy
