Quilting Retreat - Perseverance Dam 2010

 
Our cabins and main hall, surrounded by the great Aussie bush and, for a change, green, green grass.

 
It was a little damp when we arrived but spirits were high.  Within 5 minutes of unpacking, people were busily sewing.

 
This is the main hall where we sewed, played and ate.
 
Day visitors to camp, Sue, Jan and Chriss get stuck straight into their hand work and enjoying the atmosphere.

 
Our tea and coffee station was well supported and the small table to the left in front of the fireplace.  That is where all the cakes and slices were that people brought along to share.  Yummo.

Another of our day visitors, Angela, busy fitting in some sewing time.  If people were unable to come for the whole weekend, they were able to come just for the day as the camp site is not that far from Toowoomba.
 
One of our early 'finishers', Vida, with her sashiko bag.  She purchased the pattern from our good friends at Indigo Niche.  You have done a great job on this one Vida.

 
Megan is a regular visitor to our retreat.  Although not a member she is able to come along and pay a visitor rate for the weekend.  She is working on this most incredible cross stitch.  A very talented young lady.

 
Mother and baby - so life like!!

 
A first-timer to the retreat, member, Vicky, enjoying putting some hexagons together to make a Christmas wreath design.  She was an 'achiever' on the weekend.
 
Marleen proudly showing a finished block in her Sue Daly from Patchwork with Busyfingers  designed quilt.  It is all hand appliqued and is going to be a beauty!

More show and tell from the retreat in the coming days.....
