after four wonderful fun filled days with my friends at retreat.....It was great to just sit and stitch while someone did all the cooking , dishes and cleaning ....
On my list was to get "My Angels Story" together....
Now to find a suitable border....
Nice to have worked on No 10 of the "Sunday Stitchers Challenge" Fancy Forest...
I think I may need to redo the top of the grey flower, as its too light and blends into the background. I know I won't be happy if I don't do it.......
A few weeks ago Fiona from Bubz Rugz posted a Mesh Bag she made and it reminded me I had some mesh in the cupboard sew popped it into my retreat box and Taaa Dahhhh
I also worked on "Land Down Under" by Toni Alexander Which is also on my UFO list
Mumma and BabyKanga's still need eyes and I have lost half of Mr Emu's bow tie.. Must be in the Cave somewhere.
Not sure why the colours in the photos taken at retreat are very dark ???????
Must away now and get to bed ........
Happy Stitching
Hugz Maria 😄
Oh Wow--there is some really neat quilt tops going on in this post--
ReplyDeleteall are so lovely--
and I remember making some of those mesh bags--I might just have to get me some more when I relight in FL and have a sewing machine again for some shopping bags--time will tell!!!!
Glad you had a great time at retreat--
luv, di
Wow, very productive. Love your Angel's story.
ReplyDeleteThat was a productive retreat!
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean about the grey flower - in fact I hadn't noticed the flower was there until I read what you said then went looking to see what you were referring to.
Heaps achieved there Maria....glad you had fun.
ReplyDeleteYes you will be much happier when you replace the "flower"... but all your quilts and projects look stunning. What a wonderful & successful retreat... xox
ReplyDeletehow fun to get away on retreat and work on such lovely projects.
ReplyDeleteSuch a productive retreat! They are always a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteO man, I love your new creatons!
ReplyDeleteHaving someone cook and do dishes for you - that is a miracle. Congrats.
Hi Maria wow you sure have been busy,loving your angel quilt and Fancy forest is so cute,well done on all your beautiful work my friend xx
ReplyDeleteLOve your Angel Story quilt, and those whimsical animals are so cute! Sounds like you had a wondertime time at your retreat.
ReplyDeleteWow.. sounds like a great time and being very productive too.
ReplyDeletelots of great sewing.... I do love how you have done Angel story... those borders really show off the pictures beautifully. I agree with you about the grey flower.. what a pain to unpick though. YOur mesh bag looks great... we must have the same pattern. I love the addition of ric-rac… I might have to copy you when I make another....
