Back from Tamborine Retreat.

I'm not sure where time has gone but I am finally able to post a few photos from my camp on the weekend. It was a new venue this time and the facilities and food were both great. I'm sure I have come home much heavier than I went. The company as always was wonderful and besides all the talking, laughing and very late nights I did get a bit done. Some secret sewing which I can't show yet, my finished Authentic quilt and blocks for my QAL. This was my sewing space.

Here is a photo of my Authentic quilt with the binding on at last.

I also managed to finish 3 more blocks of my Aiming for Accuracy QAL. Still have blocks 9 and 10 to do.

Block 6

Block 7

Block 8

These blocks are turning out quite well and hopefully when put together will make a lovely quilt. I have quite a few photos to share but have to sort them out. My computer has been quite slow since I returned which hasn't helped.
This is my place mat for the challenge at retreat.

The thread catcher was a little gift given to us on the first day.

Thank you to everyone who left a lovely comment on my last post. I can assure you I did have the most wonderful time although I think I may take a few days to recover. I have started trying to catch up on a few blog posts but still have lots more to read so may take a while.
Also I am getting ready for my grandson Jake to stay with us for a week while his Dad goes fishing.  Never a dull moment in this household.
Well must go for now.  Hopefully back soon with a few more photos.

Off to Tamborine Quilt Retreat

This afternoon, I am heading off to Tamborine Mountain to join the Beaudesert Quilters Group for their bi-annual quilting retreat. I am quite disorganised this time and have been doing some last minute cutting out of blocks and other bits and pieces so I have plenty to keep me going until Sunday.  No cooking or domestic duties for 4 days as we arrive at 3.30pm today and leave for home on Sunday at 2.00pm.
Tamborine is about a 45 minutes drive from my home so not too much travelling involved. I'm looking forward to catching up with all the ladies again especially my friends from NSW who have recently been to South Africa for a holiday so I'm sure they will have lots to tell me as we sew together.
I won't have any computer access whilst I am up there so will be taking a little break from blogging until I get home on Sunday night. Hopefully I will have some photos to show you of what happened on the camp. We are going to a new venue this time so I am excited to see what it will be like.
I am hoping to add the binding to this quilt for one of my grandsons. Just need to add binding. This is my quilt for 13 UFO's in 2013 this month. Am showing this photo now as I will not be back home until the 1st and did not want to miss Marti's cut-off.

Well must go as I have more car packing to do. Will have to check my list twice so I don't forget anything, although I usually do. Be back Sunday night.
Have a great weekend everyone.      Happy Stitching.......
