Retreat

Retreat at Mount Alford Lodge was fabulous again. Thanks ladies for a wonderful weekend. After setting up & sewing for quite a while we were called for the first fabulous meal of the weekend. We sat down to Chicken parmigiana, roast potato & sweet potato, broccoli & cauliflower in white sauce & peas & carrots.
 Dessert was crepes with a yummy orange sauce that tasted like liquid marmalade & ice cream.
Supper was left in the lounge area for us both nights which consisted of white & chocolate tim tams & another biscuit that i don't know the name of.
Saturday & Sunday saw all of us busily sewing. Some completed projects & some didn't. I'd taken along all my bag ufo's & managed to get the outsides worked on which is what i set out to do.
Marg made several of this style of lovely runner. Quick & simple to do. I've bought fabrics to make some myself. :)
Barb did finish this gorgeous runner. I just took the photo to early. :) I also have the pattern to make this & the fabrics. lol. Barb also made this lovely note book cover.
Cath put together several lovely things. This table topper being one of them
These gorgeous table runners
this super cute bag
& this little bag for holding scraps
Julie made this beautiful bag
& Jody made this cute little bag
Didn't manage to photograph what Bev made but i got Maree's charity quilt,
& table runner
& the stunning quilt top Cindy spent the weekend making her self,
Didn't get all of what Helen was making but i did get a photo of this,
The food all weekend was fabulous as always. I did take photo's but i think this posting is photo heavy enough. But i'll add one more,
All the lovely ladies: Cindy, Maree, Deb, Barb, Helen, Marg, Bev, Julie, Cath & Jody whom i've cut off. Sorry Jody.

Happy Stitching,

    It was nice to see your good food, the quilters, and their projects. But I must ask... in the photo of Julie with her bag, what IS that tall bottle at the back of her sewing machine? Might it be wine?! Methinks you all had a REALLY fun time!
