Retreat, the Big Smoke and FnwFs .....

Last weekend our Patch club had a " Stay at Home Retreat."  My DD come up from Perth on the bus to join us..
I took along my "" BlooMs " and it was great to put the binding and have it finished.... The strippy fabric was great..  Also did all the sleeves on the quilts I'm putting in our Quilt Show in October, a big job done.... 

My DD worked on a "Rainbow Fish "baby quilt but I forgot photos....

Sunday we drove back to Perth and I had a few crazy busy days there but on Thursday we got to spend ALL day sewing.















While DD sewed the "Lego" blocks I ironed, afterwards I sewed pieces of wadding together for a backing ,

















Then we pinned........






as I drove home yesterday DD was on a roll , keep sewing and sent me a photo of  " The Crayon " quilt she was working on next...
DD buys a kids book and then makes a quilt to go with it. She'll have some fabulous ones for the show to hung in our " Children's Display " and hopes to sell some....

After getting home unpacking the car, doing some shopping and having dinner it was nice to relax and join Cheryll for FnwFs ,our monthly sewing evening with virtual friends...

I cut out and made a few "Poppy" blocks for  " Aussie Hero's "












Then sat down relax and watch
"The Exotic Marigold Hotel "
while doing some knitting... 


Must away now and hang some washing.

Happy Stitching,

Hugs  Maria  😊
