Middlebrook Retreat

Having a wonderful time on retreat at Middlebrook near Scone. A lovely rural outlook, lots of cows, calves, sheep and lambs in the paddocks.

Way too much yummy food and drink. Here we have Cardy, Raelee, Janette, Kristen, Julie and Lea enjoying lunch. Unfortunately Kylie couldn't make it.

After a huge day quilting, I finally finished quilting my nieces quilt just in time for a photo before sunset. Doesn't really show the true colours but you get the idea.

Lea and Julie are busy making Fancy Fox quilts. I made six blue ones last night, but not sure if I want to keep going just using blue scraps from my stash. Not great lighting again.

Another night and half day of stitching fun ahead!

  10. There’s nothing like holing up for the weekend with some like minded people and sewing to your hearts content. What a perfect way to spend a few days. (Just noticed that purple and blue are very popular colour choices in your group for clothes!)

    Your niece’s quilt looks fabulous. As do they foxy quilt blocks. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
