Back from Retreat.

I have been pretty tired since returning from retreat so today I just tidied up my sewing room and put everything away. I finished a couple of things but can't show them as they are swap gifts. I did start to make some fabric bonbons (Thankyou Cheryll from Gone Stitchin for the free pattern). One finished and three almost there , one each for my 4 grandchildren. Will be making more of these as they are so cute.
I did a bit of stitching as I have a few ornaments to make for Xmas. I also pinned a quilt which I will show when I finish it.

Below are just a few photos from the retreat.
It was very dry  and brown up there.

Our usual visitors. Lots of Mum's and babies.

The group at Happy Hour on Friday night.

Cindy and Nancy rocking to music. They both love Ronan Keating so heard him quite a bit over the weekend.

Cindy provided us with our own supply of lollies and chocolates and gave us all a needlecase ,a stitchery and thread. Thank you Cindy.
We had a wonderful weekend but happy to get home on Sunday to catch up on some sleep.
In closing, I would like to THANK everyone who commented on my last post. I appreciate that you took the time to send all those well wishes for the retreat.
Till next time......   Happy Stitching..........

  14. What a wonderful time you all had! Amazing how tiring constant sewing can be... or maybe it's the eating, chatting, laughing and dancing that tires us all out!
