Tamborine Retreat.....

Thought I had better do a quick post about the retreat I attended 2 weeks ago. I had a lovely time while there despite having a bit of a health issue on the Friday, an unexpected visit to my doctors, then a few hours at the local hospital for tests, and a sleepover back at home before returning to the retreat on Saturday.
The retreat this time had a Mystery theme so we could make our placemat with any design of our choice. Below are some of the place mats made.

As you can see, definitely a wide variety of themes here.
There was a bring and buy table and a couple of fabric people came as well.
I made a few purchases. The batik is mainly purple but doesn't show up that well in the photo.


A few other bits and pieces.
Saturday night we had show and tell. The bags in the first photo were made at the retreat.  This is only a few of the quilts shown, the photos don't show how gorgeous they really were.

I didn't end up getting much done but will show what I worked on another day.
Be back soon..............

    Everyone loves retreats and it was a shame you were ill but I'm glad you're better now. Love batiks and I'm sure whatever you make will come up vibrant and colourful.
