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.

  1. One can always find time to make a new quilt, even though there are others waiting in the wings. It's mandatory. Well done, Miranda! Love those EPP umbrellas and the sweet fabric that is playing with them. Love too, Annette's pretty Ruby quilt. Those fabrics in your Drunkard's Path are fabulous...nice colours.
