Tove
Went to retreat, had fun walking, swimming and sewing.
Enjoying the view with my friend.
On Monday I returned to my DD2’s and was surprised when my GS2 handed me this beautifully wrapped parcel.
He was so proud of the gift he had sewn for me. A gorgeous table topper/wall hanging. He had even picked the fabrics.
I LOVE it. Just perfect to sit my fruit bowl on. Thank you Alex XXX
After a coffee we all went of to see the “Sculptures by the Sea”
I had a wonderful time spent with friends and family. All too soon it was time for the drive home. On the way there was a HUGE fire.
So had a detour along a Gravel road.
Oh!! I also managed a bit of fabric shopping …….
Wow, it looks like you had such a wonderful time! Love the quilt your GS2 made you, how special! And the quilt you made at retreat is sooo cute! So many fun things in this post. :o) xo
