quilting weekend

This weekend i went to a quilting retreat. Went to a new venue in Thornton, it is an adventure camp. Schools make use of it during the week. The accommodation is basic. It is just what you need for a weekend, a bed and meals provided for and we can just sit down and keep sewing. It was a nice country drive. Took a different way back and found it much easier to drive.



The outlook from the pergola was magnificent. We were quit high up. At nighttime it became quit cool. All our meals we had alfresco.







Had a lot of ufo's with me and hoped to finish them. Friday night I had the 1st one ready, a stable bag.



After the stable bag, went to work on the puzzle blocks quilt. The templates of each star was send by email to me and with that had to make the stars. The only thing left was the binding. Got that done.



The last quilt i got finished is Hilde's mystery quilt. You get every time a new pattern to make, the colours and fabrics are you own choice. The last part is how you have to put it together. Well Rudy you wanted to see my upside down sun. Here it is. When you have daylight it is here night. So here is my upside down sun.
