Recent Class Work at Hobbysew

I had my three monthly classes at Hobbysew Kings Park recently.  Thank you to Saturday girls for the beautiful flowers!  I am still enjoying them.

Gorgeous ladies.

Thanks for some great classes ladies.

Trip to Melbourne

I am just back from a lovely four days away in Melbourne teaching a great group of ladies.  Thanks to Chrissy for your hospitality and to Bernie, Jenny, Ro, Julie, Michelle and Charmaine for your company.

Here is Ro showing her beautiful “Hartfield”, began on retreat last year.  It is fabulous.

She has completed all of the other blocks, they just have to be sewn together.

Great fussy cutting.

Here is Michelle with her spectacular completed “Hartfield”,  just look at that!

Michelle used a large William Morris floral for her final border.  Inspirational!

Wonderful Retreat at Ferndale

I recently held my very first weekend retreat at Ferndale, Lower Portland.  This is a wonderful venue located in a quiet bush setting on the Hawkesbury River north of Sydney.

I had thirteen lovely ladies join me for more than two days of tuition, plenty of delicious food, comfy accommodation, laughs and friendship.  Oh, and some sewing.

Here is the view from the classroom.

Looking towards the overnight cabins.
