Last day

 Sunday arrived and it was the last day of retreat 

Saturday afternoon I decided to buy a kit and make a Drunkards Path quilt even though I had plenty of other projects to do 😁

Annette's final pile of blocks for her Ruby quilt

Mary's applique blocks

 

Miranda finished her quilt top, after some hiccups and some time spent unpicking. Chooky,  Miranda and I spent some time in the afternoon having an Amish unpicking session.

 

One happy and proud Miranda, her first quilt top.

All my drunkards path blocks together.

Kate's blocks laid out 

Epp umbrellas, how cute are they?

And one block that goes in-between the umbrellas. Such cute fabric.

Helen and Diane, instruction time. 

They are making the same quilt,  Bloomfield I think, this was what they had finished by Sunday morning. 

Chooky also decided to make a Drunkards Path and these are her blocks , not in finished order as yet.

The sign at lunch sign put out by the lovely Ronnie who cooked out meals all weekend. 

Sunday afternoon we headed off to Chooky place,  we stopped for a view to the Warum Bungles 

Last time I was here there was no green, as they were still in drought 

We have a convoy 😄😄

One last view of the mountains. 

Time for a g &t at Chookies. 

Happy stitching.

Day two and a party

Yesterday was a busy day sewing, I finished my log cabins and with some help from Janice got them the right way around and finished getting them into the quilt top only to have it pointed out by Kate, one block was the wrong way around

Log cabin blocks done

Lynda finished her jelly trolley race quilt

Logs added to quilt top, and yes one is the wrong  way around, it has now been unpicked and sewn back in the right way. 😄

 Janice has been making beautiful blocks, showcasing the

fabric

The table set up last night for the party

The kids all turned up and the party got under way
