Retreat Day 1

We arrived and unpacked and got to some sewing. By the end of the day we had some great results.
I started working away on blocks for the Aussie Hero Quilt, sewed and sewed and then realised I had made a mistake, so the blocks went back into the bag and are being ignored for now!!

I started on a simple row quilt to give to the Kinship Carer lady coming to Bellarine Quilters next Monday. Kinship carers support people who are grandparents who find themselves raising their grandchildren.

Judy is working on this quilt top.

This was dinner last night.

Maxine and I in our special slippers.

One quilt finished before bed. 😊

This quilt was made by Lisa at the Guild, Joan quilted and I put on the binding. This quilt will go to the St John of God oncology ward.

Some of the girls ready to go this morning

Margaret finished one dog for her sausage dog quilt..more  to come. 
Off to do some more sewing.
Have a wonderful day.
