I came home on Sunday from spending the weekend away with my buddies from 'Quilting Companions', a sedate group name for a bunch of talented, generous and mischievous women. We meet every Thursday for a day of sewing, food and yakking, but also try to get away together two or three times a year. This time it was to stay at a nun's retreat in Shoalwater, in a townhouse approximately 50m from the beach. Warm weather + cool breeze + pelicans soaring overhead + friends + glass of wine = aaaaahh!
I spent my stitching time working on an appliqué block of an elephant on cream homespun....a block that will be included in the friendship quilt that my dear friend V is making for her daughter's 12th birthday. It was due back to her about a week ago, so this was a good opportunity for me to 'pull my finger out' and finish it. Will scan it in for you when complete.
I love these women a lot. They are a bunch of sister/aunties to me. When you need tea and sympathy they are the people to go to. Thanks girls.
