Retreat - Day 5

Sad day - last day - just 6 of us left

Louise has finished her baby crochet blanket

I have finished a "Male Leaders & Enders" quilt top

Nolene finished this quilt top - 

she started and finished it at the retreat - 

great effort (especially considering Nolene is 92!!!!)

A modified jelly roll quilt - finished by Alison

instead of full widths, we started with lengths from 6.5 to 7.5 

(left over from a quilt I helped with years ago) - 

then added some extra strips from Maria at Sunday Stitchers 

and a few more from Alison.

and the final To Do board

The "To Do" tags are saved - I write up a list and distribute it to all.
Then next year - 

I hand out the tags and either they go back up on the board - 

or are destroyed if the project is finished (or moved on in some way)

We all had a fabulous time - we all worked pretty hard - but in a relaxed way - no pressure!
We ate well - both at the Mt Alford Pub, the Lodge and our own self-catering.
Morning & Afternoon teas were plentiful & varied and we had far more than we needed - but isn't that what women do???
The venue is lovely - the views peaceful and relaxing.
Our hostess and her helpers are warm & friendly

The sunsets were stunning - fortunately for me the sunrises were only "blah".  I was on a "promise" to get up for a sunrise if our hostess Wendy would sew - we both escaped.
We will be back in 2023 - only 359 sleeps to go!
