Retreat

The last post went really strange so I am trying again 😁

I spent Mon to Thurs last week at The Retreat in Gisborne

Busy ladies

I made the first two stars in the Corner Star quilt

Then another two

another two and another I forgot to take a photo of them 🙃 

Judy made a  beautiful fat quarter quilt

And a poppy quilt

Maxine was putting nine patches together  these were from a swap about 15 years ago 

The finished quilt top

Sue made this beautiful star

Carleen made this Swoon Block  it goes with these

Don't they look great?

Another Judy creation, made from left over bits and pieces

Another Judy creation, she had Christine sewing up a storm - these were triangles left from another project.

Maxine made us a pavlova - guess who had the last slice at lunchtime the next day! 🤭

Maria was making blocks which I didn't get a photo of as well as binding.

Maria and I spent some time looking at this double wedding ring quilt, Jill has done the hand quilting, now we need to do a lot of unpicking and renewing as the border is wavy and does not sit flat.

I am stopping here, 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 Blogger publishes this ok this time.

Happy stitching.

Catching up again

Some finishes have happened recently, labels are being sewn on, that is a good feeling 😁

I was given this quilt to finish off, 8t is nor finished, quilted, bound and labelled, it will go to Oncology.

this quilt was made by Heather, at Bellarine Quilters, quilted and finished off by me, it is also going to Oncology.

this is a little cot quilt, I was asked to make it for a soon to be new Mum. Quilted by Joan and finished off by me this weekend.

Thought Bubbles is nearly finished, just needs the label sewn on. Lots of hand sewing in this one. It will hang in Finns room.

and here is Finn, happily playing

we had the fur grand babies here today

they enjoy running in the back yard and relaxing inside.

Finn sleeping under the blanket his proud grandmother made 😁

and the label is being sewn onto the hearts quilt, Joan quilted it for me this week, the binding has gone on today and now the label. Very happy some finishes are getting done. This is also going to Oncology.

Right I had better go and finish that label.

Happy stitching.
