Friday to Sunday was retreat time for me with the Friday Night Sewing Girls.... I come home at night (the venue is only 10 minutes away for me) but the days just go by so fast with a lot of sewing done, a huge amount of chatting and an enormous amount of laughing...
I am not a good photographer at these and there are always a lot of 'TaDa' moments which I forget to capture.... but I did my own!!! Sewing down the binding was all that was needed on this quilt.
Ta Da......
I got this kit quite a long time ago as a bargain unwanted kit from someone....
I love the twisted middle to the star
I used a sparkley thread for the quilting ....
close up it shows on the light fabric but not much from a distance....
we have a lovely venue with these charming cottages so I couldn't resist a bit of a play with pictures....
... and a lovely tree... a storm hit not much after the pictures....
I did do some other sewing but those are still works in progress!
.. there was a birthday at the retreat.. one of the girls there has a daughter that does icing and put together this very pretty... and very tasty cake...
I am a bit naughty sometimes (I know - very hard to imagine) but I recently found this picture and sent it to Hubz.....
I am a bit silly too (I know - hard to imagine) and thought he might find a similar one with a shed so I googled 'Pleasure Room'..... noooooooo... I may be on the police radar now checking to see how we are going to set up the shed!!!
Righto, I do hope you have an amazing week... mine is going to be busy ...
beautiful finish!
