I learned how to make bias strips for the Doing the Rounds quilt
And stored them in a special way!!
Maria is making this quilt for her great nephew, she produced so many flying geese!!
This is the mystery quilt some of the Bellarine Quilters are working on this year
This is the raffle quilt for the show in September for the Bellarine Quilters, Maria has just finished the quilting and binding
These are 3 bags I made for the oncology quilts to be delivered in.
This is a beautiful bed runner Maxine has made
Another bag finished off Thursday morning
Barbs beautiful fox quilt
Today hubby and I went to the local nursery, we stopped and got petrol on the way and noticed some flowers and plants for sale..we went to have a look and came out with three orchid plants, will take a photo in the daylight tomorrow.
We did some geocaching on the way home, down a quiet farm road
It was such a beautiful afternoon, calm and sunny
Towards the end of the road we had some puddles to navigate, I was sent out to see how deep they were, with the old stick test, once deemed safe by hubby, we continued on.
Back at home I put together a little terrarium , am quite pleased with it.
Hope it grows ok.
Off to do some stitching now,
Happy weekend.
It sounds as if you had a wonderful time at the retreat .. is the "sound" of fabric and thread retreating as normal life takes over again? lol x mmm notice it was YOU with the stick out in front......
ReplyDeletesounds like an excellent and worthwhile time at retreat. I love your binding holders and have similar ones, also I use those kind to hold my sewing machine wires in.... they are lovely and multipurpose.

What wonderful quilts and projects! I'd love to go to your retreat.
ReplyDeleteAs a contrast to the next post, this day seems so calm and peaceful and lovely - a different kind of good. I look forward to seeing the orchids. Your retreat looks great, and I always enjoy seeing pictures of what people worked to finish.
