Ready for Reotahi

My retreat seat is finished so I am going to be very comfortable as I sew at Reotahi. I have also just finished cutting out the quilt I am going to work on so I am all set to go!! It is amazing what can be acheived when one gets a couple of hours of uninterupted time to oneself. Now I just have to get my block holder made so I have something special to put my blocks in as I finish them at retreat. Wonder how far I will get with the quilt during retreat?

A gift finish achieved

Don't think I can claim this as my first christmas gift of the year, but I have managed to get this little cutie finished for a new baby in between looking after 10 house guests this Easter weekend!!

Apple Pie anyone

Just picked the apple on the left. The one on the right is a 'normal' size apple. I think one
apple is all that is required for apple pie tonight! It weighs 1/2 kg.

I bought the tree as the variety name appealed to me - it is a 'Peasgood Nonsuch' an old English heritage apple. Only the English could come up woith a name like that! No offence intended Aurely.

our wee trip

I forgot to put this photo on my blog. Looking forward to taking you other sisters that couldn't make it.

My Golly Project

My golly project is now ready for appliqueing. Decisions, decisions should I hand blanket stitch or go the fast way and machine applique. Boy oh boy some of the pieces are very small. What do my fellow sisters think?

I assure you all the photo makes the piece look much bigger than it is!!
