Hearth & Home

Before I left Cobar my friend Suzie and I decided to buy

 the patterns for this quilt and start stitching it

 so when I moved we could share our journey......

Sadly they didn't even get out of the packet before

 we left town and stayed there after we arrived.....

Until one day Suzie rang and suggested we go

 to a retreat at "Ridgecrest"....

So the stash was raided for fabrics and our bags were packed....

We met there on Friday afternoon and joined rows,

 pieced and traced and fused all weekend.....

between eating a lot of great food and

 partaking in lots of great conversation.....

Our show and tell at the end of the weekend was our

 rows so far, pinned to our bed sheets.....*Grin*

Upon returning home the quilt was tucked away yet again.....

Until i finally got it out and finished the top.....

 I gave it to "Belinda Betts" to quilt.....

 I chose a mustard check flannel to back it with, it is

 very snuggly and we use it on the lounge at home every night.....

And not a day goes by that I don't look at it

 and think of Suzie and Home.....

Until next time, Happy Stitching
