it's been a very quiet week ...

on the quilting front .... I have been out all weekend having driving lessons ... for a school bus license .... the place where my DH works needs another driver and I thought I would apply for the job and I got it ... the boss knows I have to get the heavy vehicle endorsements for my license and he is willing to wait ..... so I have booked in for my driving test on the 20th of this month ... so that does not leave a lot of time to learn all the bits one needs to know ... but I am confident .. and so is my driving instructor ... (but me thinks he is a tad bias) ...

The only thing I have done that even resembles quilting or sewing is a bit of online shopping ... lol .... from a wonderful lady in northern queensland ... I just love her shop and one day I am going to pop in for a visit with her ......... she is about 10 hours drive from here ... but only 1 hour from my sons home ... so when I go visit him next I do think I should go see her and just run my fingers over all her wonderful fabrics .... yep .. that is the plan for ... one day .............

But for now I am going to head off to bed .... I am in for another big day tomorrow ..

so goodnight all ....

hugs ... Bobbie

  1. Hi Bobby
    Great to hear from another Aussie, where in north Qld do you live, I have a friend who supplies materials to a lady in Quilpie it would be funny if that was the same store. I live in northern NSW and have been quilting for about 20+ years although I stil have a lot to learn. Good Luck with your license, you are certainly braver than me.
