Friday Night With Friends At Retreat!

 

 I got a very early start to FNWF as Melody and I headed off to 

our yearly NOTYQ retreat. We take all day to get there (it's only an hour 

and quarter from home) but we stop and visit lots of lovely shops. 

Here we are in Ballan where the town was yarn bombed!

 My first project I worked on was to finish stitching the binding 

on a new baby quilt. It is very dull here today 

so I'll do a post on it when I can get better photos.

Saturday I started working on block one of Jenny's

Phyllis May's Kitchen BOM. Not an awful lot was stitched as 

there was too much time spent talking and eating!

But unfortunately, there was a mishap and red wine was 

spilt over my stitching. My dear friend was so upset but

accidents happen. We did try getting the wine out with 

little success. I'll just make another one!

So onto block two. 

I need to get more of the thread I had chosen for outlining 

the apron in chain stitch as the skein of green also got wined.

 Saturday night Melody and I found something 

new to play with - Instagram! 

We had so much fun playing with the filters. 

There was an awful lot of laughter happening!

We had a fabulous weekend with stitching friends.
I didn't get as much stitching done as I planned but retreats
are more about friendship and having fun.

Thank you to Cheryll for hosting us. 

You can see what others got up to here.
