I had an exciting night on Tuesday in the company of all these fabulous people you can see in the photo.
We were all invited to Kim McLean's house for dinner but it turned out to be so much more. Lovely food, super friendly fun people, lots of laughs and a bit of show and tell thrown in.
Left to right.
Sue who made the Flower Pots quilt you see on the Glorious Color site.
Brandon, myself, Cathy from Cabbage quilts, Kim, Kathy from Material Obsession, Sharron from Dragonfly Gypsy in the front who had us in stitches all night and Kaffe.
There was a bit of a book signing going on and no these aren't all Cathy's books.
What a treat to see Kim's fantabulous quilts up close.
That's Sue doing the ta dah for the Princess Feathers quilt which we were all sighing over. These quilts are so much more vibrant in the flesh, they take my breath away.
The Turkish Tiles quilt was one of my favourites. What am I saying, they're all my favourites.
It was a real blast to be there and I can't tell you how happy I was to meet Cathy from Cabbage quilts at last. We both thought the other was just as we had imagined from our blogs. Both of us are going to be doing classes, Cathy with Kaffe and I'm doing Kim's class on Saturday so more excitement coming up.
Thank you Kim, it was a fantastic evening. Mr Q and I even got breath tested on the way home, lucky we were so good.
