Blue Mountain's Quilt Retreat

I'm so excited. The weather is cold and windy, and tomorrow morning Ann-Marie and I will be heading off to Katoomba for a weekend retreat at The Stitching Post with Sam.

The tutors are Gail Pan, Lisa Cantlay and Carol Roberts, and we will have six mystery projects to choose from.


We are staying in our own little cottage with five other ladies, so I am expecting lots of laughter, plenty of show and tell, and not much sleep.
I haven't had much sewing time this week, except to baste In Full Bloom and start quilting. I don't enjoy hand quilting in the ditch, but I think it suits this quilt.


Hope you have a great weekend - I'll do a post from stitching heaven!

  14. This would be so fun to attend. I love your stitches, although I'm also not much of a fan of SID quilting either. Your stitches are well done.
