Thank You Banner Hangers

The roster is out and by now you should be able to see a few Community Quilt Show banners strategically displayed around the Blue Mountains. Committee members Chris, Bob and Suzanne have hung their assigned banners.  Today, being Easter Sunday, I had a family lunch at my home here in beautiful Springwood.  What a great opportunity to engage the help of family members.  My nephew, James, is always keen to help and this year my sister, Donna, was encouraged to tie a few cable ties.  Well done crew! We even had the driver of a passing train give us a friendly wave of approval.
