Look what arrived a few days ago. All the way from Australia. A beautiful shuttle. The flower is the Cooktown Orchid, the state emblem of Queensland, so Judith told me. It's much, much prettier in real life.
The shuttle came from Judith Connors who I had the pleasure of meeting in Canada. I must admit I was nervous about meeting her as she's such an iconic person in Tat Land. A true expert whereas I dither at tatting, Judith has become a guru on the craft. AND you should see her work. WOW.
Now, the ladies in the picture below the shuttle are Terry, Judith, Ruth and (the dozy one on the far right) - me! I can't tell you how wonderful those three ladies were. I'll never be able to thank them enough for their hospitality and the truly wonderful time I had with them. Can't WAIT to go back.
