Gisborne retreat third day

Today has been another day of sewing and outdoor adventures. We went to a CITO, which is Cache in Trash out, part of geocaching. We met at a local Gisborne Cafe and then went to the park to do a clean up
This was what was gathered after half and hour of 14 people gathering the rubbish they could find.
Back at the retreat
I made a Anthology block and started the second, but I hadn't cut enough fabric  so that one will have to be finished at home.
These blocks are in a quilt top, despite me making a mistake,  a border to add and something on the green block to be done at home too.
Ingrid gave me these blocks quite a long time ago so I am happy to have put them together.
I have put together other blocks I have been given but need to make one more block, my counting was wrong at home and I am one short
I am off to sew a little more
Happy stitching.

  3. Keeping busy - isn't it annoying when you are caught short??

    love the colours of the last one

    Does everyone at retreat go geocaching??

    Isn't it also sad about the rubbish that is dumped - and even a trollery - lazy "people".

    Keep enjpying!
