From retreat. I went to Perth last Friday and spent a lovely few days with my DD and family. We went to visit my GD and partner in their unit for morning tea and I gifted her the sewing basket, bowl cosies and pot holders. Then on Sunday it was off to retreat.
After I unpacked the car, got settled in my room and after saying Hi to all it was time to set up and sew.
First I got out all those packages I’d cut out months ago and started sewing. I thought this would be a great project to work on .. BUT NO. It’s called the “Wanderer’s Wife” and not an easy pattern to follow it did my head in but I made a few blocks.
Then onto “Lollipop and Sunshine” BOM by Anni Down published in Homespun .
Did some hand sewing on my La Passacaglia as well in the evening.
Also managed to sew a few rows on hubby’s simple lounge quilt.
And here’s some show and tell from the ladies.
Donna made a casserole snug,
Helen was working on a Baby Floor Rug,
Just needs the binding sewn down.
Three different scrap projects worked on by Loris left, Jan below and Vicki bottom.
Jodie quilted a donation quilt she’d made earlier and also quilted these cute chickens.
Ros sewed down the binding on her Tumbling Blocks quilt and put together a modern quilt for her GD which was out of her comfort zone .
Jo spent her time dotting making a picture of their cat as a gift for her Dad.
Ok must away and publish the post and get organised to join in for
FNSI
Happy Stitching ,
Hugs. Maria 💖
