Finally heading home.

Here is the last instalment about our FUN weekend at Mt Tenandra. Sadly all good things must FINISH, and after more FRANTIC sewing we headed home...both FATIGUED & mentally reFRESHED. FOND FAREWELLS & promises to FIND time to do it all again next year. Here are some sights FROM our journey home... sunflowers...
Birds made from corrugated iron...
birds of the FEATHERED kind...
and a pair of birds doing FUNNY things with Jupiter!
 Amazing FIELDS of cotton
And I have been working on my project from the weekend...
nearly done! Thanks for the fun & inspiration Chooky, Peg, Dale, Kerry, Jules, Nicole, Eleanore & Fairygirl!

FAR away FUN goes on...

What a great weekend....FABRIC surrounded us...but as the evening wore on we had to resort to sewing by FLOODLIGHT!
Chookyblue was sewing with chenille...you know that meant FLUFF swirling everywhere...
sewers in FLANNELETTE pyjamas seemed to be the rule for most...
they even became the new FASHION for walkers! FUNNY!
A FEW FIZZY drinks and the night was FILLED with the sounds of FAUX ABBA singing & songs from my Ipod...A blast from the past! How FUNNY to see everybody singing along with "Girls on the Avenue"...oh we felt young again! LOL! A FINE time was had by all...except for the FEAR created when a grouchy Yowie FRIGHTENED the late crew! Lucky FAIRYGIRL was safely asleep!
We woke to our FINAL day...finished quilts ready to be FILMED...
Lea's second African quilt...
beautiful repro 9 patch...
sweet chenille...
DD's FIRST quilt top...
We all felt so proud of her!
Final pics & the trip home still to come!

So much FUN!

Wow! What a weekend!
Our retreat weekend was definitely FANTASTIC...we had lots of FUN...and I am feeling FATIGUED.
Some bloggers headed off from our FAR FLUNG homes on FRIDAY...
we braved rain & FAR FROM IDEAL dirt roads to FIND our way to a place about FOUR hours from my home.
FAR away Mt Tenandra was the destination...a FABULOUS old home now used as a B & B.
FOUR pairs of FRIENDS plus one met there for lots of FRIVOLITY
Time to sit, FIND out more about each other...FLAP our gums (cheeky!)...
eat FAR too much FLAVORSOME FOOD...
celebrate special days in FINE style...
 then try to redeem ourselves by going for a FITNESS walk ..
.it was oh so FLAT!
Saw some FURRY friends...
then with FUZZY heads, we stitched for hours...some FORTUNATE, FAST souls even FINISHED a FIRST project! FANTASTIC! Then off to bed, dreaming of FRESH days sewing ahead!
Enough for today...visit Peg & Chookyblue for more FUN pics...more from me tomorrow!
