Local retreat

 Six of us stayed in all of the six large comfortable bedrooms in a local pub and  spent five happy weekdays sewing in the spacious function room. Three were all or mainly hand sewing while Maggie and I got to work on our machines, expert Maggie being incredibly skilled and productive. Here is some of her handiwork:

Here is the Fabric Fusion quilt she did after seeing mine. She used two fabrics with alternating blocks, an idea I'd like to try in my turn. She added the wide borders while we there.

These fussy cut flowers are framed so that the blocks are self sashing. Wonderful use of black and white.

More wide extravagant borders

Maggie's strippy quarter square spiderwebs will be added to later. Strips are organised into their own separate bags.

I liked how the blocks
combined to form a double
Irish Chain pattern,

More flamboyant borders.
