Weekend with Fabric!


Last weekend I headed off in the car for a 6 hour trip to Nundle, NSW for a weekend retreat put on by Kerry at Cottage on the Hill


Food ( and wine!) were big features of the weekend as well as fabric LOL


It was great to catch up again with Chookyblue, Cardygirl and Lea, and meet some lovely new friends.

This is what we woke up to both mornings - a heavy frost making a white picture.




 Here is the set up in the shop, all hard at work!!



Some stitched into the night to try to catch up on all that piecing!
(oops - another bottle of wine!)

New stitching buddies helping each other out!




Some of the finished quilts - all just beautiful
 






 And here is my quilt! I love it! the fabric is Park Avenue by Moda. It is huge and it still has to have 2 borders!
 I took this pic on Monday at home on the washing line...........


This is the view from our cabin after the frost had melted on the last morning - so peaceful.
