“A daughter is a confidante, a pal, a real friend. Only a mother can
say how very special a daughter can be…”
I would sincerely like to thank Steph for the wonderful organisation and hours of work she provided for this years “Stitchers Dream Day Out”. Your feedback has been inspiring, as have the bookings for next year. I feel extremely privileged to be able to continue ‘my dream’ with you all.
Congratulations to my band of merry assistants – Colin, Sam and Newton who chauffeured ladies to and from their cars in Colin’s “hot” V8 Kingswood; the shop girls, Steph, Megan, Christina and Brenda, all who never got flustered, even though there often wasn’t standing room in the shop; Rachel, Melissa and Judy who all assisted in the Marquee. Kaye and her staff at the Chocolate Cottage provided us with scrumptious nourishment on both days. Our website now has photos of the event, as do lots of blogs. The guest designers, Lesley McConnell, Debbie Magee, Libby Richardson and Leanne May all produced exquisite projects for everyone to create.

October is the month of recollections, completing many of those half finished projects. I find that once November arrives, I swing into festive mode – planning what gifts to buy my family and friends, what the menu will be for Christmas and looking forward to lounging around watching movies for a couple of days!!!
Australia will be awash with Pink as it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many events will be held to raise funds or you can purchase Pink Ribbon goodies.
