We had a wonderful weekend at the NOTYQ retreat
at Lake Dewar Lodge in Myrniong.
Due to the great time we were having,
I've taken hardly any photos! Hopefully Mel
and Ann managed to take some.
Here we are at GJ's in Fairfield.

Next we visited Kellie at The Cutting Cloth.
What a beautiful shop. It's so full of inspiration.
at the counter with Kellie.
Mel and Ann purchased a couple of patterns
for a class they are going to do there.
Of course, a little shopping was compulsory, although I was very restrained. Some pink Tilda to add to my collection, along with the green which I am going to use to make Jenny's Hussif. More little hangers and some binding clips. Why haven't I bought these before?
They are wonderful to use.
Some of the goodies I received at retreat. There are a couple more things that I can't find at the moment.
There was some bubbly on Saturday night!
The main project I worked on was my FQS 2013 Designer Mystery BOM quilt. I just had to stitch down the binding.
TaaDaa! It's all finished.
I decided to bind it in the same fabric as the border
rather than the navy spot.
The colours are more true to life in the above photo.

Thanks for being great travelling partners Mel and Ann.
It was certainly a lovely weekend.
