Retreat 2 (lots of photos)

While at  "Avalon"  a visit into Toodyay is a must to go the Christmas Shop,


There is just sew much to see but I only took photos of the lovely chair next to the cosy fire















 Santa's chair



and this display of gingerbread houses.





   









Now on with the photos of some of the things the ladies worked on....


Firstly I'll show you Val's quilt.... All done bar the binding.... She's an amazing 90 year young lady....


Allison will be a Grandma for the first time soon and made this lovely playmat. Only has the binding to do.


She had started this gorgeous 1930s Hexie quilt many many years ago and Val spent some time over the past months finishing it for Allison. It now pinned ready for Allison to hand quilt on the weekend.




















Jan has a few friends whose family are expecting babes sew she was busy putting some little quilts together.




























   
                    This one needs some more snipping.
















Pinned ready to quilt.





Jenny's colourful blocks being put together.....


Maree preparing the next applique block for her quilt.






















Di's first row of her new project.


Joanne spent the weekend on this fabulous bead Peacock.



















Leonie worked on the fantastic colourful blocks while her daughter Kerry completed all these Forest Friends .....


I was delighted to have completed my blocks for "Soul Searching" and sew them together...


Also worked on My Angels and Santas but didn't get a photo will take them will I get home.

Before leaving we had a group .........


Now I'm spending a few days in the big smoke visiting my DD and family and going to" Aladdin" tomorrow...

Must away to help prep dinner.

Happy Stitching

    So many different projects by talented ladies! I wish I will still be quilting when I'm 90. It may take that long to use up all my stash!

    Lots of beautiful things being made by you and your friends. The Christmas shop looks wonderful. I hope you enjoy "Aladdin" - I think it's my favourite musical - the Cave of Wonders is spectacular.

    I LOVE visiting Christmas shops, even if I'm too overwhelmed to actually buy anything! And your Soul Searching top looks great - I really must get on and finish mine, just the binding to complete.

    Such amazing projects! I think the hexie one or the beaded peacock may be my favourite (give me five minutes and I may change my mind again). The Christmas shop is awesome! x
