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.
