I set off early on Saturday for another catchup/sewing day with friends from the north of the State, we all meet at the Cherry Shed in Latrobe. They have a fantastic area upstairs for us to stitch in and of course we venture downstairs every so often to replenish ourselves. Have I told you I love their icecream!
I took some stitching but I did so little I didn't bother to take a photo.
 |
| Vicki decided to do some knitting |
 |
| Sarah and Leanne, wonder what they are plotting |
 |
| Roseanne and Julie - Julie spent the whole day doing her binding on the lovely quilt you can see under the table |
 |
| All hard at work.....or is Roseanne playing with her phone? Deb was as she started and finished the binding. |
 |
| Here is Deb's lovely quilt, she managed to finish all the binding...... |
 |
| Leanne bought along this quilt, only the binding to finish |
After a fun day I followed Vicki back to Burnie for a couple of days sewing. I don't think we stopped talking but even so I managed to get a couple of things finished!
 |
| Vicki made the big decision to retire, last Wednesday was her last day in class, so I took her a little present. I love this paper, so cute. |
 |
| I made her the Zipped Sewing Case in French General |
 |
| A few little goodies inside! |
 |
| This bag was one of my finishes. It is made with left over fabric from the quilt I finished last week. It really is huge, I have popped the quilt inside. The pattern is from the Tilda site, love the patchwork handles. |
 |
| Then, as you CANNOT waste any fabric, I cut the rest up into 2" squares and made this little zippy purse. |
The weather was perfect for sewing, although I do admit we did a bit of retail therapy as well.
 |
| This was the first day, the mist lifted mid-morning only to come down again an hour or so later |
 |
| Who can resist a sale! |
 |
| Tuesday - but on my way home now |
 |
| This morning I woke up to a bit of snow on the mountain and...... |
 |
| one of the heaviest frosts I have seen for a long time. |
