Has it really been almost 2 weeks since I met up with
this great group of ladies and spent 2 nights at The Vale
in Perthville stitching, chatting, eating and
drinking the weekend away?
We ate far too much food.....
Had lots of laughs....
Caught up with old friends.....
Smiled a lot and relaxed......
We stitched, knitted and crafted....
We also shopped up a storm at The Home Patch,
It is always a delight to visits Anni's Shop.....
Lots of purchases were made, I was excited to find this
shelf that is just perfect for my Studio wall......
Some of us stayed up far too late.....
I worked on this pincushion project that I had purchased at
last years Blog Meet, lots of hand stitching in this one.....
I felt very spoilt indeed to have Anni on hand to show me(do it
for me please Anni) how to turn the completed pincushion
through the tiny hole in the side seam.....He He!
Such concentration filling my pincushion
with crushed walnut shells.....
And Ta dah! The finished product!
It looks too nice to stick pins into.....
I also had a play with this kit that I also purchased
some time ago, these little projects really do
take as much time to make as most quilts!!!
Anni tells me that her shop sample of this project has
been stolen, what a rotten thing for someone to do :(
Stay tuned for lots of fun in the Make it Bake it Fake it Swap!
Until next time, Happy Stitching

Looks like it was a fabulous weekend. I could have done with some help turning my Lilly's pin cushion too......it was hard.
Great post, i love the pin cushion and i agree that it looks too nice to put pins in!! Great weekend, I am so jealous!
Kate it was certainly a fantastic weekend. Your pin cushion is gorgeous
Was a great time, love all the pics, just wished I could have stayed longer x
Miss kate we sure did have a fab time 💖💖💖
Sounds how a sewing retreat should be - a lot of fun talking eating etc etc...those pin cushions can be very fiddly to turn outside in..lucky to have a "helper".
so many great pics..........
