Happy new home & upcoming classes
Surprise! Just when you thought I'd forgotten about my blog, here I am!
My excuse for not having written for a while is that we moved! Not just a little move but a big interstate relocation! Mr Daisy and I loved our 14 years in the Blue Mountains but it was time to move back to where we both grew up, a town call Ballarat. One of the first questions people ask when I tell them, is am I "going to become Ballaratdaisy instead of Blue Mountain Daisy?". I did consider it for a moment or two, but I think by now everyone knows me as Blue Mountain Daisy and it has a nice sound to it so I'll stick with that.
The photos show a most thoughtful and wonderful Whizz Bang cake made by Louise as a going away present.
So now that I'm in a different part of the country it makes sense that I'll have new teaching spots. I've picked 3 shops for regular classes.

Plus there are a few other things in the pipeline. I have several upcoming Zoom presentations for overseas guilds which I really enjoy doing. Strangely I don't mind being up in the middle of the night to accomodate the time differences. As soon as I'm zooming in my mind I'm in the time zone of the folks that I am speaking to.
After my trip to South Australia I plan to start offering zoom workshops, so if you are interested in any of my projects in particular, or have any other requests or suggestions, let me know, email is always a good way to contact me - rachaeldaisy@gmail.com
It has been so fun watching people make 'Hextravaganza' quilts. Here are a few blocks to show you some of the different fabrics being used and lots of fabulous fussy cutting.
Leaves everywhere!!
