Gisborne Retreat

 A very happy three days was spent at the retreat at Gisborne, lots of chatting, laughing, sewing, eating happened plus a little walking, I was very happy to get 4 quilt tops nearly finished with the help of Margaret 

After some unsewing the Guild Mystery quilt is done,  just the borders to add now.

Margaret finished her I Spy quilt top

Another cheaters quilt for me with fabric I got from the quilt shop in Temora, borders from left overs at home.

Judy got a border on this left overs quilt top she and Christine made

Maxine had her beautiful hexie quilt back from Tracee of Hummingbird Quilting

Another quilt Maxine had back from Tracee, these were 9 patches she had from a swap many years ago

Another quilt top finished by Judy

Beautiful backing fabric Tracee has at her studio , she has another with Artic animals and yes one came home with me! 🙄

Carleen with her scrappy strip quilt

Another Judy quilt top made from fat quarters and other left over pieces.

Beautiful gum blossom

Autumn colours

This cloud stayed over us one day while we were walking

Margaret at work on my Anthology blocks

As there were 183 Anthology blocks we made 2 quilt tops, I want to put black all around and maybe a coloured side border to make them a little wider.

Thank you for your help Margaret, without you sewing and sewing for me only one quilt would be done! Quilty friends are the best!!!💓

I think that is enough for now, I will try and publish this on my phone and then go and fix the photos on the lap top..

Happy stitching. 😊 

PS I published this to the Scrub Stitching blog 😕 so have cancelled the one over there and tried again here.
