My Holiday in Port Douglas

Monday, October 21st, 2013

During term 3 break I had a wonderful holiday to Port Douglas Queensland, Australia with my daughter Jacqueline. It was just fabulous and I loved every minute!

For two weeks we ran on the beach at sunrise, rested and relaxed by the swimming pool, ate beautiful fresh fruit, salads and seafood! We visited the Daintree Rain Forest, the Cassowary waterfall and explored the famous Sunday market.

It was just what I needed!

Quilting Inspiration – check out what our quilting students have been making in our quilting classes at Rosewood Cottage.

In the video below Jacqueline shares her finished quilt and the beautiful quilts from our other quilting students PLUS find out what NOT to do when sewing a quilt!

Jacqueline is delighted with her finished quilt below and said

“One of the things I loved about joining the Quilting Class at Rosewood Cottage Geelong was not only to learn how to make my first quilt, surround myself with other wonderful creative people but also what gets booked in – gets done! I loved scheduling the class dates into my calendar to look forward to!”
