Hi everyone,

Well what great long weekend we had.  Friday - Sunday with a fun group of 10 Ladies at Gisborne retreat.

We laughed, talked, ate lots , some of us managed to get some sewing in but most of all we relaxed and did what we wanted to do.  Of course the obligatory visit to the quilt shop.

I have added a few photos below of some of the projects in progress on the weekend.

Love the mottos on this cushion back, 

Mary made these small quilts to donate to the RCH Auxiliary,  she went on to make others but I missed the photo opportunity

Sewing and chatting

Roast Dinner Saturday night

Rosie and Robbie working out the pattern for a bag.

I almost completed this quilt just one more border

I made this quilt all because I brought a new doona cover and needed a quilt to match the colour.

Di made a bag she did do other things but the photo opportunity didn’t come up

 

Cheryl completed this beautiful tulip quilt, one more border then on to the quilter 

Rosie working on her bag 

Jan also made multiple small quilts for new family babies 

Wednesday 8th November

 I have been a bit slack so a big sorry. 

We have a couple of photos from a previous week.

Well done Fiona the colours are great and the quilting is wonderful

Purple one of my favourite colours. This pattern is complicated, and it takes a lot of concentration to get the pattern correct

The first Tuesday in November. Always a great day but also a quilting night. A time to have a laugh and a few made a hat to wear for the occasion. Now I have to apologise as the photos are not the best. I promise I had had nothing to drink and not everyone is represented. We had a terrific night with a feed of chicken and salad so thanks Jancie and Robyn for arranging this. For those that were into games there was a table of games which is a great chance to get to know new members. Others sat, sewed, chatted and continued eating! Now if you want to sack me as photographer I will understand>

 

Over a number of years, we have kept up a tradition of adding a hexagon to a wall hanging depicting the year we joined Sunbury Stitchers.

 If you haven't completed one of these please ask so that we have a stitching record of members
