What did I do on retreat…..maybe not a lot…LOL

IMG_5060

Well……I did some secret stitching…….and I did sew this little snowball table topper…

I tried to start on my version of “Gossip in the Garden”….I had taken fabric with me for this project…but…….I started and I was not happy with it…

so now I need to re-think my choice …

I am thinking maybe reproduction….I do have lots of bits and pieces….but will think about it a little bit longer…

so I guess, I must have done lots of talking as there is not a lot of show and tell…..LOL…but I did have fun….

Happy Tuesday, take care, keep safe

My lovely friend Pat recently had a birthday…

Chez is running a fantastic birthday fat quarter swap….I am thrilled to be able to show you photos of Pats little haul…..…

The first photo are of the fabric gifts in the Fat 1/4 Swap, Pats gifts came from  Melody, Barb, Anthea, Kaylee, Sue, Sharon, Lyn, Claire and Wendy. 

The next one is all the lovely extra gifts that Pat received with her fabric from these lovely ladies,

and the last one is her special prezzie  from ShezPat said to me “you know that I was so excited when I opened this one”. 

Pat also said “I opened them all on my Birthday, which made them all extra special, the temptation was hard as some came a week before, but it was worth the wait”…..Pat was totally thrilled with all of her gifts…….such amazing generous gifts from wonderful blogging friends…

Happy Friday, take care, keep safe…
