Sewing Retreat

The lovely ladies from Peggy and Bev's Place organised a sewing retreat over the weekend and it was wonderful!  It is about the only time I ever get to go away by myself, no men, no kids, no cooking and no cleaning - heaven!  The food was fabulous, the teachers terrific and the ladies were laughing!  Peggy showed us a technique using no rulers which was very different to anything I've done before and quite fun!  So I have made 18 blocks and not quite sure what to make with them so I think they might sit for a little while until I can come up with a creative way to use them. 

I then moved onto some unfinished projects.  I sewed 4-patch blocks for one of the cow wall hangings I've been working on and got stuck into the pinwheels.  I finished piecing all the blocks then laid them out to see how big it would be.  Not quite big enough I decided so with help from the other ladies I have decided to add another block.  Crazy much?  Yep.  I have cut all the pieces and will hopefully get some done tomorrow night.  Anyhow, haven't really been up to much else.

Happy Sewing

FINISHED!

Yep, that's right!  It's finished!  The robot quilt that was started before Master 2 was born is now completed!  How excited am I???  And how excited was my little man!  He is now very happy with his new 'blanket' on the bed, ready for sleep tonight!  It has been a very busy couple of weeks as the MOTH turned 30.  We have had a wonderful time catching up with both of our families and will sadly say goodbye to that last of the visitors later this week.  Hopefully this means the sewing room will get busy again even though I did manage to sew aprons for my nieces while they were here.  But that's enough boasting over a finished project for me.  The next couple of projects are a long way off being completed so I need to get busy!
