FNSI and Retreat.

I made an early start to FNSI with the lovely Wendy and friends after packing up my small machine and projects for our clubs last "Stay at Home Retreat."


I did the last of the quilting on my No 12 challenge quilt but didn't have enough for a binding so folded it up to take to the hall with the other projects .


















At 4 0'clock it was time to drop hubby off at RSL and then I joined my friends for our sewing weekend.



First I sewed the binding on last month's challenge quilt

Before it was time to stop for dinner,and afterwards I was on cleanup duty and then time to pick up hubby and home...
Saturday morning I went for a dip















home for shower andon the way to the hall popped into our little craft shop to find some fabric for the binding on my challenge quilt.

A bit more sewing on yesterday's project and a finish.


prepared the binding for the next challenge.














Wasn't sure first about the brown spot but it does look good when sewn on . Then finished the quilt this morning...














Next to  sew on the black border then sandwich and pin ready to quilt,                                                                                             






before it was it was time to pack the hall up and home I also got some QAYG Blocks...






A huge thank you to Wendy , my virtual friends and all the ladies from Patch for a fantastic weekend of sewing.....

Must away and do the dishes ,

Happy stitching.

Hugs Maria 😊

    but I am so cold today--the heat is one--no kidding!!
    so am going to get in my rocker and pull the large Chmas quilt I am hand quilting over my lap and quilt away while watching the last race of the season!!
