Hi Mary,
Right now I am visiting my daughter and family in North Melbourne. I come to visit every year. I live in southern California near Disneyland. I hope to make it over to NSW to check it out. Welcome to the board. There are other Aussies on this board.

Hi Mary B. I am from Perth, Western Australia and am just re-kindling my interest in Quilting. I am just getting back into quilting after a hiatus of quite a few years. I have two grown kids, each with their families. They live too far away for my liking. One on the south coast of WA and the other in Tassie. [so I am just a Nanna on the Phone]
This is my first post on this board - so I will say welcome to you and me!

Thank you so much everyone for your very warm welcome to the Board. I feel as though I have been on tour in USA, Canada - and Australia.
Sewgarden, I have not visited Maleny myself but my daughter has and I know you can share equal pride with us in your beautiful part of Australia.
Lynley, I guess I can say "Welcome" to you too as we have come in here together. I hope you really get great joy from your second encounter with quilting - it is my passion.
Whereabouts in Canberra are you Woody? When we visit, we usually go in from the north side and so aften I feel the need for a 'comfort stop' at Gold Creek (hee hee). I guess you could say Calico Patch know me well, and so conveniently situated, right next to the comfort rooms.
Barb, if you make it into NSW will you be visiting the Snowy Mountains Hydro area? We are at Talbingo on the northern side and would love to meet you if you are passing through.
Lisa, I am thinking very seriously about joining the Doll Quilt Swap, thank you for the kind invitation. I know I must be very quick as it closes in a day or two.
Donna, I think I am getting ready to jump right in - only need to check to make sure I can honour the commitment. It would be awful to bomb out on my very first swap!
Cheers to all

Hi Mary
I am Southside, right down south, couldn't get much further south LOL. Do you ever come for the craft and quilt fair in August? I haven't been to the Calico Patch yet, I don't often get that far north, I might have to make a trip one day.
If you do get a chance to join the doll quilt swaps, they are a lot of fun and a great way of meeting new people. I wish I had more time to do them again, hopefully one day soon.
