Back From Retreat!

 

What a wonderful time we had. Friday Night With Friends kicked off early Friday morning when I picked up Mel. We headed up to Ballarat for a day of shopping before heading to retreat. I'll show you what followed me home in another post. Uploading the photos, I've realised I didn't take very many. What a bad blogger I am! I was having to much fun to think about it.

What do you think of Melody's new do? Princess Magenta was having a wonderful time!

In fact, she was having such a great time, she lost concentration and stitched her ear plug cord to her project!

 Those owls are made by Maddy of Woomba Woomba. That's Adrienne concentrating hard!

 Of course, retreats are all about the food and we were certainly well fed. Saturday we had white chocolate and raspberry muffins for morning tea.
I think Mel got a photo of those!

 Sunday was scones!

This is what I worked on. I put all the blocks together for my Great Granny quilt. I didn't have enough of the white fabric for the sashing. Silly me had been using the tutorial by Lori Holt. I bought the amount of white she suggested. But when I looked at her quilt, Lori had made nine blocks. I made sixteen! Once I get some more white, it shouldn't take me long to finish the top.

I worked on a bit of stitchery on Sunday.

I think this sums up the weekend!

 

Thank you Mel for being a great travelling companion. Thank you also to the wonderful committee who made the retreat the great one it is. To the NOTY girls, thank you to you all for your friendship over the weekend.
