Weekend Retreat

Over the Queens birthday long weekend we had a great time at Vickery Quilt and Craft Retreat in Alexandra. Lots of craft, relaxation, fun, and fine food as well as the local quilting group's exhibition, visits to local shops and the annual Truck and Ute Show (complete with wood choppers) to entertain us in between stitching.

Leita produced this Rubik's Cube style quilt from her eldest daughter's instructions:

Sue knitted a lovely cowl and started on  a second one:

Lisa bound her two queen size quilts with the help of speed stitcher, Barbara, and continued with the hand quilting as well as finishing off a blouse she had started at home:

Colleen designed and finished a quilt top for her eldest son using her extensive selection of batik fabrics from her trip to Bali last November:

Anne completed numerous rounds of  a medallion style quilt using a kit purchased from Tikki Patchwork in London which uses Tilda fabrics by Norwegian designer Tone Finnanger:

Louise made  a lovely quilt top using bright scraps and white fabric from a tutorial by Rita of Red Pepper Quilts:

Karyn finished a quilt top for her nephew from a pattern called "Love Beads" by Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr and arranged to have it quilted by local longarmer Marlene of Redgate Quilting:
