I did start this project last year in May but realised I wouldn't get it done for that winter put it aside for this year.....

Boonah Retreat with the Sunday Stitchers....2024

 It is very nice to once again join in retreats.....

There was 8 of us stitching up a storm.....

A great room to create in....

Lots of wonderful projects by the girls.....


Charity quilts were also top of the list....





I worked on 2 charity quilts.....



Lunches were pretty good as well....
Lunch workers....
Susan and Cheryl....


Sandi and me ..... 


Love toasted sandwiches....

We also had a visitor.....
Who was fondly know as "man in cupboard" Mic for short...
We had a dishwasher problem....
He also enjoyed a sandwich....



We all had a very nice Chinese dinner....
Mostly we were self catered.....


Lamingtons made a great morning tea...


It was quite chilly in the evenings, so sewing faster was the order of the day....

I had a great time with the girls.....
4 fun filled days....

Thank you for our terrific company....
