There were giftbags at each seat with some very cute cookie cutters, a kit each from Rosalie and Leanne and also 2 fat-eighths of Rosalie's new fabric range!!
There were lollies to keep our energy levels up (note the tablecloth of Rosie's new fabric)...
And he barn was decorated with gorgeous samples of Rosalie and Leanne's work. 
It was lovely to see these quilts up close and to discover the incredible amount of work that Leanne had put into them - her embroidery stitches are so tiny!
We did a little stitching too - in between nibbling on the lollies!
Here's my Mum - busily stitching!
We enjoyed a lovely lunch...
And then went for a walk through the gardens of Glenharrow...
We met some of the Glenharrow family....
This little guy was my favourite!
We went back inside for some show and tell. This is Chantelle - one of the lovely girls Mum and I shared a table with. She had two gorgeous quilts to share.
Then I showed off my Leanne's house quilt (yes, I know, I've still not finished! It will happen one day!)
Leanne spent some time chatting with us and teaching us her method for needle-turn applique
Then Rosalie taught us how to mount our stitcheries onto a canvas
I was a little nervous when we arrived as all the ladies seemed to know each otheralready. But everyone was so lovely and Rosalie and Leanne were incredibly friendly, approachable and very honest. A huge thankyou to both ladies (as well as Nel, Erica and the others) for organising such a wonderful day. Mum and I had such a great day - when can we sign up for next year?!?

What a lovely happy post! I just love Leanne and Rosalie! And your Leanne's House quilt is gorgeous. You used such great colors for it. So different from what I have seen until now!
