Back to stitching..


...and a weekend retreat at Two Rivers winery, Denman….Arhhh the ambience .. and the wine!!!


... a lovely relaxed weekend with 6 stitching buddies.. and lots of sewing was achieved….actually we  were like possessed mad woman ….staying up till the wee hours to get quilt tops done!

I made another sew together bag..
 And a new quilt top… only 3 rounds off finishing..


 Lots of laughter and nibbles
Miles and miles of triangles!

Reverse sewing…not happy Raelee!
