My weekend at Nowra - Sequel

Me again........with more fun pics and tales from the JukeJema retreat.  First up is another finished retreat seat from Sandra and a one in the making. I am loving how different they all look with the individual fabric choices. And before I show any pics the pattern is available now and you can get "My keeper of all things lovely" as we speak from these stores here in Australia.

Here is Sandra's retreat seat and it's so lovely just like her. :) Thanks so much for sharing Sandra and spending the weekend with you was awesome....you're too funny!

 

Here are the pockets from Glenda's seat and I am sure she has completed it by now.........haven't you Glenda!!  LOL

 
Now the weekend wasn't complete without show 'n' tell. There is always wonderful show 'n' tell at a retreat but this one was a little different and particularly phenomenal. All the ladies who were there last year were given a challenge that they were to make one or two of each of our designs. Being one of mine, Annie's & Janelle's. There was also some other works on display as well and WOW, the ladies did not disappoint.

The quilt that the ladies chose to do of mine was mainly "The Flower Pot People". Here's a squizzy at some beautiful work. Here's trouble...LOL. Margaret & Kay worked on this together and it looks stunning. They are 2 cheeky gals and it's always lovely to see them at JukeJema each year along with Sandy.N. (she's related you know).

 

And speaking of the bubbly Sandy, here is her gorgeous work of art!

 
I was sitting down the front with Janelle & Annie and it was gob smackingly awesome to see how much work all the ladies had done. I was very touched indeed. *tear...tissue* :)

And here is my beautiful friend Jenny. A little ray of sunshine and a walking, talking stitching machine she is she is!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the colours the colours. I love each and every one of them my chicky babes. Thankyou so much!

Now just a couple more pics to show you and I shall save the rest for part 3 otherwise I will have to call intermission and the popcorn machine is out of order!!.

Here is me & Jenny and this is my "Ladybirds on Patrol" quilt. And 2 spunky ladybirds..LOL!

 

And just one more I promise. This is Pippa and she is a genius. Pippa has made my "Ladybirds on Patrol" as you can see and has modified it into a Roman blind!!! Clever gal. I love it........................ :)

 
So there you have it..... a fest of colour & creativity!!

Back soon for the final installment.

Fun, favourite things & friends "In Stitches"
