Last day

 Sunday arrived and it was the last day of retreat 

Saturday afternoon I decided to buy a kit and make a Drunkards Path quilt even though I had plenty of other projects to do 😁

Annette's final pile of blocks for her Ruby quilt

Mary's applique blocks

 

Miranda finished her quilt top, after some hiccups and some time spent unpicking. Chooky,  Miranda and I spent some time in the afternoon having an Amish unpicking session.

 

One happy and proud Miranda, her first quilt top.

All my drunkards path blocks together.

Kate's blocks laid out 

Epp umbrellas, how cute are they?

And one block that goes in-between the umbrellas. Such cute fabric.

Helen and Diane, instruction time. 

They are making the same quilt,  Bloomfield I think, this was what they had finished by Sunday morning. 

Chooky also decided to make a Drunkards Path and these are her blocks , not in finished order as yet.

The sign at lunch sign put out by the lovely Ronnie who cooked out meals all weekend. 

Sunday afternoon we headed off to Chooky place,  we stopped for a view to the Warum Bungles 

Last time I was here there was no green, as they were still in drought 

We have a convoy 😄😄

One last view of the mountains. 

Time for a g &t at Chookies. 

Happy stitching.

Home again

Well life is back to normal or what  passes for normal here, we had a great retreat and some wonderful projects were worked on

I learned how to make bias strips for the Doing the Rounds quilt

And stored them in a special way!!

Maria is making this quilt for her great nephew, she produced so many flying geese!! 

This is the mystery quilt some of the Bellarine Quilters are working on this year

This is the raffle quilt for the show in September for the Bellarine Quilters, Maria has just finished the quilting and binding 

These are 3 bags I made for the oncology quilts to be delivered in.

Barbs beautiful fox quilt

Today hubby and I went to the local nursery, we stopped and got petrol on the way and noticed some flowers and plants for sale..we went to have a look and came out with three orchid plants, will take a photo in the daylight tomorrow.

We did some geocaching on the way home, down a quiet farm road

It was such a beautiful afternoon, calm and sunny

Towards the end of the road we had some puddles to navigate, I was sent out to see how deep they were, with the old stick test, once deemed safe by hubby, we continued on.

Back at home I put together a little terrarium , am quite pleased with it.

Hope it grows ok.

Off to do some stitching now, 

Happy weekend.
