Lots of lovely projects happening at the retreat. :-)
Boy, you are dedicated to be stitching by 7:00 a.m.! The retreat I attend (that we haven't had for 2 years now) only opens up for sewing by 8:00 a.m. and my roomie and I are always there when it opens, and we are often alone for a bit.
Everyone here looks very pleased to be able to gather again.
I love the 9-patch and hourglass blocks together. I have intended to make one for years, but it never seems to happen.
Look forward to seeing more of your fun!
It’s always great to see the photos later as we don’t see the projects at the same stage.
Great post to enjoy Chooky.
It was a great weekend and why not use every minute to sew if you want and that gives us time to slack off in the middle of the day and talk ha ha Thanks again for organising it Donna
oooh i can just hear the fun...i so need a retreat....love jenny's twister!
What a fun weekend.....love Jenny's twister, definitely my colours.....all the quilts are great!
Retreats are always such fun and it great to see what you all made on different posts….
A hive of activity.....I can hear those machines humming amongst the laughter and chatter.
Some beautiful projects on the go and it looks like you all had a lot of fun! Christine xx
I love seeing what everyone was up to. Awesome that Wednesday now seems to be an official sew-day!
Soo busy! Great to see all the action.
Great posts Chooky - I almost feel as if I was there.
Great memories there.
You had more space to sew than at the little retreat I just returned from. Cozy is good too though.
