Since last posting, I have finished another row by row quilt and rec'd another one, helped Kerry settle in on her arrival to Australia from England and had a rushed trip to Melbourne to catch up with family visiting from Rhode Island USA, so I guess I have an excuse!
This is an almost complete family photo of the Usher clan. The only ones missing are Matt and Mick and Calum who had an important soccer match that day plus John's wife Dianne who took the photo! The back row from L to R is Val's husband Gordon, Jeff, Me, Jeff's brother David,Jeff's Dad John, Brother in Law Tom (married to Jen). Middle row is Jeff's Mum Val, Jeff's sister Jen and Sister in Law Donna (David's wife). In the front are Sam (10) and Molly (7). They are the cutest kids on earth I think!
This is Jeff and David!
And Jen and Donna!
We had a great weekend in Melbourne. I got to spend all day Saturday with my sister Debbie and her husband Roy and their other friends from Perth who were also visiting. Deb, Bev and I shopped til we dropped and had a wonderful time. I left them in the city at 5pm as Bev had to get back to Albert Park because they were going to see the Lion King. I went and collected Jeff from the hotel. He had spent the day perusing bike shops! We then caught the tram to Deb and Roy's in Albert Park where they took us to a great little restuarant for dinner called Asiana.
Sunday was spent with Jeff's family at Glen Waverley to celebrate his mum's 73rd birthday. We discovered later that it was Val's very first birthday party. It was a great day! We finally met David's family for the first time though still didn't get to meet Jenni's son Calum. It will happen oneday! He had an important soccer game to play and we did find out later in the day that his team won!
This is the last row I completed in the row by row challenge. I added the bottom row to this one for Robynne. I really hope she likes it! Now I have a row to do for Shirley and then I only have two more to do!
