Enjoy the wildlife at KoolKat’s “Parrot Hilton”

Our home has been named by Her Indoors as The Parrot Hilton, for the wonderful array of parrots and lorikeets that visit our 2 acre refuge just minutes away from Toowoomba and Highfields.  We have a 5 bedroom house, and only use half of it.  We decided to create The West Wing, at Our Parrot Hilton, which can also be found on AirBnB.

The tariff is just $52 per night for 2 people, and $20 for each extra person (maximum 4 people).  A basic continental breakfast is included.
The West Wing is self-contained with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, and sitting room with a basic kitchenette.  This includes microwave, fridge, toaster, TV and DVD player. With the two bedrooms (one with a double, and one with 2 king singles) we can accommodate up to 4 people. There is a private entrance as well as a connecting door to the rest of our home.  You can be as private or as social as you wish.

For quilters there is the added bonus of Kathy’s quilt studio, if you have the urge to do a bit of sewing while visiting. We also offer free membership of our “Green Parrot Club”, a lovely enclosed patio / sitting area from which you can enjoy watching the afternoon bird feeding.
For those of you who haven’t yet visited our studio, we are located on a lovely, peaceful 2 acre block, halfway between central Toowoomba and Highfields, just minutes in either direction.  The James Byrne Centre is just up the road. You may be coming to Toowoomba for a quilting event, Carnival of Flowers (book soon for that one!) or maybe you have medical appointments in town.
We be away for the first three weeks of June, and will let you know the exact dates closer to the time. (Air BnB also shows all available dates)

St George quilters meet up at KoolKat

Two quilters from St George arrived separately but around the same time at KoolKat today. They exchanged news, and one who was a school librarian, managed to slip in a reminder to the daughter of the other lady that she had an overdue library book.  Colleen made the pink and brown quilt and asked for the budget I Love It trailing hearts pattern.  Heather also chose this pattern for the yellow and red quilt.
