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!

















Cardy came up from the big city…working on her usual stunning hand pieced blocks..just gorgeous!!
