Home Again ( long post ,many photos )

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 💖
