I had a weekend away stitching at a beautiful old homestead built in the late 1800s, but I did join in with Chooky's 2nd birthday celebrations with lots of others. I did manage quite a bit of stitching, but I mainly worked on this for the weekend -
Almost finished - was really happy with how it turned out. It's a lovely pattern by my dear friend Michelle from Rag-Tag Stitchin "Down Reindeer Lane".
Here we all are hard at work.
The girls from Quilters Harvest patchwork shop (who ran the retreat) showed us how to make a "Disappearing Pinwheel" - so we went from this -
to this. Love it - think I can feel a quilt coming on. Cheryl
