Home again

I came back home yesterday afternoon after a wonderful time away, sewing, eating and chatting.
Maria finished a quilt for her brothers 70th birthday present, made in fabric reminiscent of the checked shirts he work to work, she also included sayings
Apparently he is a sayings person.
I finished the strip quilt it needs borders now
And put shashings on this lovely panel I got in Coonabarabran two years ago.
I love the images on the fabric
Another is in production, plainer this time
oh yay!! Blogger has turned it upside down!! Will fix it later.
this was dinner Wednesday evening and it was amazing!! Followed by paclova with berries,no photos of that sorry!!
the garden at the retreat was showing signs of spring. 
That is all from me just now
Happy stitching.

    The 70th quilt is so effective and should be very well received. I love those panels that you bought a couple of years ago. A simple sashing was all they needed.

    Always fun at retreat .
    Maria made a great quilt for the 70th.
    Nice Aussie panels to play with too and good to get your Strippy top together.
    Lots of pretty flowers blooming.

    Sue - the panel with the various animals, all with flowers/plants on their bodies, is stunning. Love it. Glad you had a super retreat. Welcome home, and thanks for visiting my blog!
