Scrub Stitchin' 2025 Day 3

 Another busy day for everyone..............
Sandy from Shiralee Stitches brought along some of her shop which was so pretty............I may have succumb to some purchases...........
Its always great to move the tables around and lay out some quilts................this one belongs to Di............its beautiful...........

Brenda made us a couple of Ginger Fluff Sponge cakes......she is prize winning for these cakes and they are as light as a feather............
more laying out.............

a beautiful paddock lily I found on a walk...............

dragged a few of the girls off on a short walk.............got to keep moving.............and the mozzies only collected up under Kate's dress so that was good for us...........

I think this was a Kawandi lesson.............
Kate had stolen Jo's hat that she made..........
Cuppa and chat times are treasured.............
Another quilt being laid out..........


I worked on my binding and finally I think I got it finished on Friday..............
very slow process..........but I think I was quicker at sewing it down then attaching it to start with.........



I found this little quote.......
"One secret of life is that life works at all because not everyone in your tribe is nuts on the same day. Another secret is that laughter is carbonated holiness" - Anne Lamont

All to quickly the retreat is passing by...........
but the moments are treasured by me and the joy of looking around the room seeing everyone mixing with each other........enjoying the wins and helping with the challenges.........
the conversations are many and varied..............
the colour, styles, skills, thoughts are many and varied but all valued just as they are........
it is a very special tribe to be part of..........
I am honored and so fortunate....
