2015 Bathurst Blog Meet

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,
 the home of my favourite designer Anni Downs....
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.

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".
