last weekend at a retreat run by my little local group – Village Green Quilters. We had the retreat at a Bush Camp which would have been lovely for photographs, but for the weather which on the Friday night, and Saturday blew and rained like you wouldn’t believe. After going to bed in our bunks, I froze – so much so that I wore my fleecy lined rain jacket and socks to bed. Haha what a sight. I had taken a quilt and a mohair rug, but obviously it wasn’t enough. Fortunately for the second night, I remembered I had a picnic rug in the car. One of those old fashioned tartan ones that our mothers used to own. I slept snugly the second night.
We had lots to eat of course, and huge amounts of laughter. Just what the doctor ordered!
Some show & tell of what was made or started or finished for the weekend.

sounds like there was no heat turned on - that is a pitty - how any of you got sewing done? my hands would have been too cold - but what you show sure is nice!
Some great quilts and projects happening there Sue and it looks like a fun time despite the weather. Take care.
what a lovely weekend you have had, except for the chill factor. You will need loads of stickability for Mrs B, but well worth it, i shall look forward to seeing your progress.
Beautiful quilts & projects. Have fun with your Mrs B.Hugs,x
Oh Sue! What a lovely weekend you enjoyed. I haven't been on a retreat for nearly two years (since moving) and really wish I knew of one I could go on. Yours looked like fun, and lots of productivity, in spite of the cold weather. I guess you quite literally (picnic) "rugged up!" Your fine piecing is exquisite.
