The Concert Hall was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers.
We stayed over in a hotel in the city so were able to have a couple of visits with Elizabeth, Matt and ChaCha and we also had afternoon tea with Peta. I went back to Sydney on Friday and spent a couple of nights with the new family.
Last night I sorted through my fabrics and scrap drawers choosing fabrics for another Bronwyn Hayes stitched/appliqued quilt ("Little Chicken Feather"). This one will be soft blue/green/yellow/aqua/grey and so far the colours are looking very pretty together. Only need 1 x 2.5" square from each fabric (94 squares in total) and 1 x 1.75" strip from some of the fabrics to surround the stitched blocks - was very happy to find 94 different fabrics for the squares. Lots of stitching over the next few months.

Great gift for your mum .... A special couple of days...can't wait to see this quilt xx
Beautiful family time. Love all of your fabrics for the new quilt!
94 different fabrics - that's a wonderful variety for the quilt. Looks like a lovely time out for both your mum and yourself. Our eldest has just booked a ticket to see Sleeping Beauty at the Opera House with college friends late this year and we have just paid for it as her birthday gift.
