Finished

 I have finished my Aussie table runner
One for the present box
A wild old day here today
Damaging winds was the forecast
Hubby says we already have one tree down over a fence and two large branches.
Me? Iam not going out to look
Staying inside by the nice warm fire doing some stitching

Quilt Retreat

 I had the loveliest time at my quilt retreat last weekend The weather was beautiful ( shame it didnt last) the food was great and the company was fantastic
Most of the girls attending I did not know, but now have a new group of friends
I made a lap quilt top while I was there
Now have to set to work to quilt it

 One of the girls was giving away some books so I scored these two beauties Yippee
Look forward to the next retreat
Fantastic

A little finish

 I wish this rain would go some where that it is needed!
Good weather for sewing though
Finished this little stack 'n' slash runner
I found the tutorial at Samalia's Mums Blog
Quick and easy

 MY Friday night was mainly taken up with preparation stuff. Next weekend Iam going with a couple of friends to a sewing weekend We are joining up with another local quilting group Should be fun.
Firstly I cut a silk scarf in half and made longer handles for a bag I got for my birthday I like longer handles
Hopefully this will work 

 Then I got some applique ready for a quilt I have planned
