Special Project
For many years, we (Maureen & I) organise a secret project.
The first year we did it - it was a last minute thought - I mean literally the night before we were due to leave. I was staying at Maureen's - to get an early start and we had a "Brain Wave"...lol....a few hours later we had a kit for everyone to make a mug bag - using her fabric stash.

The next year - we were more organised and I purchased some metres of fabric in a coordinating range and we have used that fabric ever since. (Luckily I was able to get more from a de-stash site recently.)
We try to find something that is useful as a sewing "thing" and that gives everyone the idea/technique so they can make some more if needed.
The project this year was a snappy pouch.
The one in the middle is made by Louise. She has a favourite fabric that she likes her sewing "things" to be made in so we tell her what to bring ahead of time.
Belle & Pearl
The tale of Belle & Pearl
And each year Maureen makes them a little gift. This year - it had to be a mask - so they each got one. . . . LOL
They sit up on the piano each year - the case behind them stores all their treasures....
We had a great time - we are booked for next year - hopefully things will be back to "normal" by then.
Thanks everyone who came and made it fun.
Thanks all my readers who have commented on the finishes.

Love Belle and Pearl and that they attend your retreat every year. Such good memories you all have. Can't beat a quilters retreat can you?
Looks like you all had a wonderful and productive time Susan, so much achieved. I am glad Belle and Pearl enjoyed their outing to the retreat too. Your left overs quilt is beautiful. The secret project is a great idea.
There are not many better things to read about than a real quilt retreat! I enjoyed every word as well as the stories and photos!

i couldn't believe that i would ever be re-unite with my ex-lover, i was so traumatize staying all alone with no body to stay by me and to be with me, but i was so lucky one certain day to meet this powerful spell caster Dr Akhere,after telling him about my situation he did everything humanly possible to see that my lover come back to me,indeed after casting the spell my ex-lover came back to me less than 48 hours,my ex-lover came back begging me that he will never leave me again,3 months later we got engaged and married,if you are having this same situation just contact Dr Akhere on his email: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com thanks very much sir for restoring my ex-lover back to me,his email: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com or call/whatsapp:+2349057261346
hindi ako makapaniwala na kailanman ay muling makiisa ako sa aking kasintahan, labis akong na-trauma sa pananatiling nag-iisa na walang katawan na manatili sa akin at makakasama ko, ngunit napakasuwerte ako sa isang tiyak na araw upang matugunan ito malakas na spell caster na si Dr Akhere, matapos sabihin sa kanya ang tungkol sa aking sitwasyon ginawa niya ang lahat ng makataong posible upang makita na ang aking kasintahan ay bumalik sa akin, sa katunayan matapos na ihagis ang spell ang aking dating kasintahan ay bumalik sa akin ng mas mababa sa 48 oras, dumating ang dating kasintahan ko. bumalik sa pagmamakaawa sa akin na hindi na niya ako pababayaan, 3 buwan mamaya kami ay nakipag-ugnay at nag-asawa, kung nagkakaroon ka ng parehong sitwasyong ito makipag-ugnay lamang kay Dr Akhere sa kanyang email: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com maraming salamat sa sir sa pagpapanumbalik ng aking dating kasintahan bumalik sa akin, ang kanyang email: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com o tumawag / whatsapp: +2349057261346
