Project Uninterrupted Retreat 2020

 We have had a full weekend at Nunyara Conference Centre, Belair South Australia of sewing, laughing, chatting and eating. We arrived Friday afternoon and some were sewing before dinner. Others were still settling in. After dinner  most of the group were sewing working on a variety of projects, some old, some started recently and a few brand new projects.  This year I selected 4 new patterns and kitted them up as requested from last year's feedback form. Small projects that could be completed over the weekend. There was a  zipped pouch, a little bag with or without embroidery on it and 2 quilt kits. All at a special retreat price. 

Some of these kits are now available in store if they take your fancy.

Three days of a huge variety of projects and different skill levels. Really looking at all the projects, it is rather inspiring. At events like this, it gives you the chance to see some projects that you may not be game to try and talk to the person making it to find out more about the making  of it. Sometimes projects look really difficult but when broken down may not be as hard as you originally thought. Also doing  a project with a friend who has the same kit can be a great help too.

As you can see lots was achieved over the weekend.

Until Next Time

Our Annual Project Uninterrupted Retreat Round Up

We are back in the real world after a weekend away at Nunyara Conference Centre. There was 18 of us this year, all working on our unfinished projects and some on new projects. We arrive late Friday afternoon and leave Monday after lunch, all our meals are done for us so we just turn up at meal times to eat. No cooking and washing dishes, we just stack our dishes on the cart in the dining room, wipe our table and return to our sewing room.

These are a number of the projects that were worked on over the weekend. We always have a great time with loads of laughs, food, even a few games with prizes. Plans are already underway for next year's retreat.
Until Next Time

My Best Of 2017

Cheryl over are Meadow Mist Designs is holding her annual Best of 2017 Blog Party. It is that time of the year where we can look back at what has happened during 2017.

My favourite five has been put together from a mix on my personal favourite blog post and the ones most visited over 2017.

1.  My Jingle Bells Row Post is the most visited post of the year which was part of the Christmas Caroling Row Along.

2. My spot of the Virtual Cookie Exchange has to be another one of my highlights. Even with my husband argue the point that it is a virtual cookie exchange and was I really suppose to be baking the cookies. I tell you he stopped arguing the point once he was eating the cookies.

3. The Project Uninterrupted Retreat has to make the Top Five. Myself and my team of helpers took 19 ladies away for the weekend for our first Project Uninterrupted Retreat. It was a huge success and we haven't even got home and plans were being made for the 2018 retreat.

4. Two quilts I finished that are among my favourite quilts.This post is a personal favourite.

5.  My Cotton Carnivale trip from March.This trip I took to Noosa was an adventure and so much fun to attend. It just had to make my Top five of the year.

There you go my Top Five of 2017.  I wonder what will happen in 2018. I am sure it will be adventure with everything thrown in.
I have linked this post up with Cheryl party post so don't be shy pop over and view what others have been up to over 2017.

Until Next Time
