1 Xmas Item a Month, Back from Retreat

Here is my I Xmas Item a Month finish for March. You can find all the other finishes by clicking on the logo on my side -bar. Thank you to Narelle of Pins and Whiskers for running it again this year.
A Snowman Ornament to add to the gift box.
Firstly I would like to thank all those lovely ladies who left me a comment on my last blog post wishing me a fun time at my retreat. I definitely took your advice and had a very enjoyable 5 days. There was lots of talking, laughing and eating going on, as well as catching up with some old sewing buddies. I also got to meet some new ladies so new friendships were made as well. I was a bit slack with taking photos this time but here are a few to show the venue and also what I got up to.
Views outside our cabin. 

My sewing space, Everyone working hard, Dress up Dinner on Monday night. Our meals were wonderful with lots of salads, fresh fruit , tasty main meals and freshly baked morning and afternoon teas and supper.   

Here is my place mat, the theme this time was stars and hexagons plus the colour gold. I worked on my Cabin in the Woods table topper from a couple of years ago,just need to layer, baste and quilt it now.   Started to put these blocks together and made this hexagon flower in a mini class. Just needs a button in the centre.
Here is my name badge and we all got one of these click-clack bags to store our bits and pieces in made by Sue the camp co-ordinator.



I have some show and tell photos but will leave them until next time.
Till then Happy Stitching.....................

Tamborine Retreat.

I will be missing in action till Tuesday as I am attending the Beaudesert Quilters retreat at Tamborine Mountain. I have packed my bags and just have to throw a few more sewing things in the car and I'll be ready to head up the mountain after lunch.   Mt Tamborine is about 30 minutes from where I live.
Can't wait to catch up with these girls again.

To finish, I want to show you the badge I received at Let's Get Stitched made by Joy Coey of JoyPatch.

Isn't it just gorgeous. Thank-you so much Joy.

Be back Tuesday with the retreat update.
Hugs and Happy Stitching till then.
