Where have you been?

Oh that’s right, it was me who was missing…

I’ve been retreating….. each year I organize a Quilters Retreat with 26 or so wonderfully creative women.  This year was no exception.  We arrived in dribs and drabs on Friday afternoon/night and after settling ourselves into our sleeping quarters and setting up our sewing areas we proceeded to get reacquainted with those we haven’t seen since Retreat 2008.  Some new faces this year and some who missed previous years joined us again in ‘09.

Lets see what antics we got up to.

This peacock as too fast for me to catch clearly, he came with a mate, as in a friend-mate, not a partner-mate.  I thought they were looking for Helen, she has peacocks….. apparently these ones were not familiar to her?

Gail’s last meal….she managed to bring a tummy bug with her, so kept fairly quiet during the weekend, although managed to get a reasonable amount of work done just the same.

Meal times were a hoot, chatting and laughing their way  through each meal.

Debbie with Ann, lady in waiting!

Margaret gets reacquainted with her work.

 

Look at all those happy faces…….

                       

             

A small sample of what we worked on.

This is what I worked on, just the blocks mind, it was Monday at home before I got to place them, and there they stay.

Is it any wonder I am still recovering?

Thanks for visiting…..
