Gisborne Retreat day 3

We had another busy day of sewing and chatting, I managed to get in 2 short walks


More stitching is happening on the hexie quilt
Christine has gathered squares from the throw out box here on retreat and has this four patch top ready to be sewn together
Maria has her Peas In a Pod quilt top together
Carleen has started a Zig Zag quilt, you start with a pentagon and add pieces ro each side and then trim back, is going to look  very effective
Judy has pieced another top from pieces left over from another quilt
Sue has cut and gathered hundreds of little circles and is now applliquing them to little squares 🙄
Maxine is adding more blocks to her Zig zag quilt top
For dinner we had baked potatoes and for desert we had pavlova, my favourite.
Off to do a little more sewing.
Happy stitching.
