Yesterday at Club Quilt I did get together my table runner for our out outdoor setting...the bind has to be sewn down and a bit of a tidy up with the threads and it will be finished......these lovely little stitcheries are called "Portholes" and they were designed by the very talented Allie....thanks again Allie these were fun to do...
What to do with over ripe bananas.......well I made this banana/pineapple cake, which I took to Club Quilt today and even if I say so myself it was quite nice......Last week at Nundle this is what I made..I know it is not much but I was very busy.......!!!!!!!........chatting......LOL........Double Wedding Ring table runner which is for our tray mobile we have in our hall way....I have made the backing from some left over strips...the photos does not show the beauty of these fabrics which are Japanese...Daiwabo Selection for EE Schenick Company.......hope you all had a fab day. .......I have just received an email from "The Quilted Hen"...so I popped over for a visit she has a great blog and she has some instructions on doing a "Slashed and Stashed"...please pop over and have a look and say Hi......

Kerry's shop is filled with lots and lots of tempting goodies.....how good are these spots...(I had to buy one of those little bundles...LOL....)
What a fabulous time we had in Nundle..at 'Cottage On The Hill'...the lovely Kerry totally spoilt us, what can I say about this awesome woman, if any of you have the opportunity to go to one of Kerry's retreats I assure you that you will be totally blown away......so to you Kerry from the bottom of our hearts 'thankyou'.....Dale Kath and Myself headed off on Friday in one car and June and Gaizie in another, we had to drive four hours to Nundle with one quick stop to go to the loo and we also stopped at Quirindi which has a great little dress shop...after checking this out we had coffee and then Nundle was just down the road. we arrived around 12...unpacked the car moved into our accommodation which was to be our home for the next four days and three nights... ...and then off for some lunch at the Pub....checked out a few shops, one shop had 25% off all bags so a couple of us did buy a new handbag...then out to Kerry's to select our fabric for the next days sewing....what we do is select the fabric and Kerry cuts and has everything ready for us to sew the next day...now how good is that.....(we never have to use the rotary cutters at all she cuts everything)......(more tomorrow)
