Cooroy Quilters workshop an a frosty day

Esk in the Brisbane Valley at dawn, white with frost
Yesterday we set out at 6am on a frosty winter morning for the 3 hour drive to Cooroy on the Sunshine Coast hinterland.  Esk in the Brisbane Valley was white with frost, and fog was lifting from Lake Somerset,  one of the water storages for Queensland's capital city Brisbane.  Around 40 quilters greeted us at the Cooroy CWA Hall where Kathy gave her 'Scrap Happy' workshop.  Thanks Sharyn and all concerned for making us welcome.  Many yards of fabric were stripped, cut into Apple Core blocks, applique blocks and 3" and 6" blocks.  Many said they were inspired by Kathy's quilts and designs.
