Back home

I came home yesterday, retreat was over, and a great time was had by all. I think we timed our retreat well as from Monday we cannot visit another house and must wear masks when we leave the house. So show this virus has to be stopped. On a happier note,

I put together another quilt top, these blocks were made by a friend who has passed away,  four of us quilters used to get together Friday night's once a month and we made the blocks from the Underground Railroad quilt, I was given these 5 to put together, mine are still sitting in a pizza box in the cupboard! I think I will add a border to finish this off.

Judy was working on a quilt top using the drunkards path blocks for a wedding present, these are the last few rows, the others were being sewn together by the time I took a photo.  They were arranged to create a chain effect and looked wonderful.

Wednesday I made two anthology blocks, the clamshell took a lot of brain power trying to get the borders to fit and the block to the right size, it took two of use to realise I had cut the border pieces bigger than I should have!! Duh!!! 

I also had  a play with some foundation paper pieced hearts

And some flying geese also paper pieced.

Carleen was working on her Japanese fabrics quilt, once on the wall we realised a couple of blocks were upside down, they will be fixed at home.

The sun came out Thursday afternoon and the light coming in the front door caught my eye. We had the same door at our previous house in Gisborne.

We had a visit from Maxine for Wednesday lunch, this was her show and tell, lots of lovely things she has been working on.

This lovely quilt was at the retreat on the back of the couch.

So back home and back to what ever is normal these days.

Happy stitching.
