Sunday Stitchers retreat

 "The Outlook" at Boonah was our venue for this yeaars retreat.....

Lots of fun was had by all, chatting... sewing and eating of course....

We met at "Revival Cafe" for lunch....



Great things to see along the pathways in the town ....





A little retail therapy at a wonderful old country style shop with everything from mens workwear to quilting fabric....

"Maynards"


Then on to the serious business of the retreat....


The girls certainly were working hard.....
Alison...


Sandi....


Norreen....


Cheryl....


Susan....


De....


Lynda working on her crocheting....


Chooky was going to join us but sadly covid changed her plans.....
she managed to do a little sewing even though she was unwell.....
Maybe next year she could join us....


My sewing....

I only needed to add borders as the tops were made by other girls ....
They are all charity quilts.....





Sadly only did 2 churn dash blocks....

I must get a wriggle on to get more done as
Chooky will be cracking the whip soon.....


Obviously we enjoyed sweet treats.....





Susan and I were selected to organise the "Mystery Project" this year ....
we decided on placemats for "Meals on Wheels"
Great job girls....


A small gift for their hard work....


There were a lot more projects doen by the girls but I seemed to have missed taking photos of them....
The kangaroos outside my bedroom....
Not a great photo through the flyscreen, nice to see them so close to the building......



Well that's about it for this retreat.....
I had a great time with wonderful company....
Happy sewing ....
Toodles....

Lovely place for your retreat and you picked up some nice dotty fabric plus buttons….
You girls always sew up a storm and get lots done.
Nice to be able to just pop on the borders for the community tops Helen.
The place mats for Meals on Wheels is a nice idea.
