Gisborne Retreat

It is day 2 of the retreat and all is going well, I have finished two quilt tops from the half square triangles
This one with the darker plain squares
This one with the lighter squares. The plain layer cake was given to me by Ingrid, the coloured layer cake was from a fabric sale.
Everyone is busy stitching 
Sue finished her beautiful quilt
Maxine is working on these blocks, they were given to her to finish by someone who had been given them to finish....Maxine is finishing off the buttonhole stitching on 54 leaves!! 
Next up for me is to join these blocks together, I was given them ages ago
These blocks have been joined together now I need to join the rows, it will be a challenge as a lot of the blocks are uneven, again they were given to me to finish up.
I had better get back to it
Happy stitching.

  2. Great sewing and lots of beautiful work going on!! The HST quilts with the large squares are very effective. Good luck with the rail fence blocks.
