I do really enjoy our Patch Groups "Stay at Home Retreats" We arrive on Friday afternoon set up our machines etc , have a chat to ladies and then sew. I made myself a new microwave bowl holder before our dinner arrived.
My DD1 asked if I could make her a new bag for her to take to "Bingo" .....
I had the perfect Fat 1/4 in my stash...
Got it cut out and ready to sew before going home.. after having brekky at I arrived back to the hall around 9am and sewed the "Bingo"bag first in between morning tea and lunch..
Did I say I love these weekends ...
No cooking and we are all on a roster and have turns clearing the tables , filling the dishwasher and keeping the urn filled.....and home to bed....
Back Sunday and I got the binding onto this quilt...
next some of the ladies and I got this quilt sandwiched and pinned . It is now ready to be quilted now , think I'll just do some FM stippling...
I am pleased with what I got done and had a fabulous weekend....
Must away now and pop on the kettle.
Happy stitching and stay well,
Hugs Maria ❤

ReplyDeleteWhat a as clever format for your retreat. I suppose me going as a “day girl” to the Bathurst Blog Meet is pretty much the same. You were very productive.
