Glenrose March Retreat....

  I have just spent a lovely few days on retreat with my stitching friends.....

Naturally it was filled with heaps of giggles, snacking, with a bit of sewing thrown in.....

Sadly I didn't take many photos at all.... very slack....

A couple of projects for me....

I finished my bag, which began at an earlier retreat....

Quite pleased with it ..... 

A very simple design, i wanted the fabric to do the talking....

I loveeee this fabric....

I wish I had bought enough to make a skirt.....


I popped the borders on this panel, our Needle Girls group are doing one each....


This quilt has also been waiting for the last 2 borders to be put on....

It is a DV charity  quilt.....

This was also my F.N.S.I project.....

A little retail therapy is always essential.....

These are from the new craft shop in Warwick....

Sew Pretty Patchwork....

Gemma is a lovely welcoming lady, 

website isn't up yet.... a very nice shop, I wish her well for the future....

We will definiely be back to shop....

Shelley's craft shop is always one of our favourite places to get a few bits and bobs....

Great fabric range as well.....

Very restrained shopping for me this visit....

What is a post without a food photo.... lol

Lunch at the Garden Centre Cafe.....

French Toast with caramelised figs.... yummo....

Back to reality now...

On the home front.....

I have been working feverishly on 2 secret quilts.....

Once gifted I will pop up a few photos....

That's it for me ....

Toodles....
