Stacey's at the Gap retreat

I just love going to "Stacey's at the Gap" . You are well looked after by Leonie and Mal. It's a beautiful location at the top of Cunningham's Gap near Warwick QLD. 

The accommodation, while  old school camp style is quite suitable.  All meals are included and we have a great large hall to sew in and a roaring wood fire when its cold. What else could you want? Sew from 7 am til 10 pm. You can bush walk or sit in the sun ,it's up to you.

When Bernie went to the USA in 2017 he actually went into fabric shops and  bought me some panels. WOW I was so amazed so I am on a mission to make them up. I started with the Bison.

I thought log cabin might do it but NO the red  centre was too big and too busy.

Found this light fabric with lots of movement and I loved it.

Then I searched for some more ideas and lovely Karen ,one of the other ladies there was doing a chevron table runner.  So that was it after few hours of deliberation I decided on a chevron design.

I thought it was a great result I was pleased with it. 

This was the second panel he bought me and this is the progress so far .

Time Flies

OMG I can't believe I haven't blogged since Anzac Day. Sorry girls but life gets that way sometimes.

We have had our show, our school musical, mothers day visits from my son and his lovely wife, a patchwork retreat  plus we have been for a few days in our van. Yeah! I know I am just lazy  but oh well, not that I didn't think of you all.

I thought I would show you my most recent finish for the SAL I am in. An Anni Downs bag from her  "Some Kind of Wonderful book". Of course with a touch of my favourite colour, orange. It will be so sad next fashion season when other big O is not in....supposed to be Teal and Jade ....  but I don't  think I will be going there.....mmmm.

 

I really like the size and shape of this bag.

Not sure if I showed this from the April finish in the SAL. 

Now for our McIntyre Quilters retreat to "Stacey's at the Gap"... If you want to see the lovely things the other girls made check out the McIntyre Quilters blog on my side bar. Its a lovely spot up there in Cunningham's Gap near Warwick.

I decided it was a good time to get my grandbaby's quilts made. I made the tops for four so I was pleased.  Sorry the photos are not great.

Just cute little prints

A little creek crossing to get there

 This weekend we actually had a little rain so it was a nice time to sew. I finished off the quilt Emma made. It looks lovely. It was her first attempt. But I do think she got out of the binding ....Hmmm.
