A Stitching Sleepover

What could be better at the end of a busy week than heading off to a stitching sleepover? Last Saturday I loaded up the car with a months worth of sewing and drove to Muswellbrook for a sleepover with the Casillis quilters. It was so good to sew all day and late into the night with Lea, Raelee, Kylie, Alison and Julie. Unfortunately Bev was sick so couldn't make it.

These girls are so clever, there was lots of inspirational sewing happening. I adore Lea's Liberty foxes quilt.


Raelee's quilting progress was fantastic after only one lesson.


And Kylie finished hand quilting her beautiful Gardeners Journal.


Quilting in front of the open fire until my eyes wouldn't stay open was magic!


Thanks for a great weekend girls, it was good for the soul.
