Last day of retreat

Christine has bordered a scrap quilt made from Judy's scraps

Great effort

Another top is going together,  this one is Maria's I think 🤔 

                                                                                 

My Kwandi is finished, this was started with a class at the Guild with Irene Blanck.

This Quilt is being made by Maria, she found the centre at an op shop and has added borders.

Back home I have sandwiched three quilt tops, only took one photo

It was lovely out the back yesterday afternoon.

Last night we went out for an early Mothers Day dinner

 Finn was taken with the guitar player and got up to dance. He had a great evening, as did we all.

Happy stitching.

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.
