Sunday in Echuca

We obviously have a great time away together.

You certainly can't beat great laughs, friendship, wonderful food...with a little bit of wine and

plenty of creative sewing to make a fantastic weekend.

 Sues and Tanias completed Sailboats

 Along with Margs...these will look great on the High Seas

 I got my North Star finished

 as did Sue

 All of Sues completed blocks....how great do they look.

We just need to make up a corner block we have decided to do some form of friendship block

since we all did this together. Then to add borders, backing and binding.

 Sue also finished another Aussie Hero quilt top.

What a gal....so very generous.

 Marg with her completed North Star

 I also completed a Marg Lowe Stitchery

 These are all of my completed blocks...it is such a great feeling getting all of these completed.

Thanks Girls this was great fun.

My blocks are made from The Kansas Troubles range and The backgrounds are the Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements Range

 My blocks with Sues blocks

 This is what we all achieved for the weekend.

 and these blocks are my personal achievements along with one small stitchery

 Sues achievement.

 Margs achievement

 Tanias achievement.

Looking forward to our next catch up girls.

Well done...a big pat on the back to you all.

Echuca let the fun begin.

 Saturday morning we decided to go and have a little wander around the shores of the Murray River.

 The things you find.......Yes this is the very rare thong tree.
As far as I know it only grows along the banks of the Murray and doesn't need much water.
You may need to fertilise with rubber regularly .

You really need to get organised girls.....maybe try to push in the same direction next time...

Some mothers do have them....

Another rare species, but I do believe that they are slowly becoming more popular.

Just a sprinkling of yarn and you should have a happy healthy tree for a long time.

Back to work.....Sues Birds in the Air Block

 and Margs Block

 This is my Block

 Tania doing the old fashion pressing with wooden iron....hence that we didn't have one but the rolling pin came in very handy.

 and Tanias Drunkards path finish

 My sail boat whipped up in no time at all.

 Margs Drunkards path

 It was quite late at this stage...I think that this is where Marg may have needed some coffee.....

 or sleep.

My Flying Geese

 Tanias Birds in the Air

 Sues Drunkards Path

 My Drunkards Path.....mmmmm I may unpick the machine appliqué and re do it.

A very productive night indeed.
