I have just got back from an amazing weekend retreat! It was organized by Kim and Debbie from our Local Quilt shop. The venue was Horsley Hall in Weardale - it's about an hour's drive away from where I live and the journey is through some beautiful countryside, especially over the moor before dropping down into Weardale. Just a few minutes outside of Stanhope but it felt like the middle of nowhere.
The Hall was gorgeous - this was the great hall where we ate and sewed
and the drawing room, where we cut, pressed and relaxed
There were 23 of us - some I knew, some I didn't - we did nearly as much chatting and laughing as we did sewing!
The project for the weekend was a medallion quilt designed by Kim and Debbie and found in their second book "Shopping Days" which is inspired by nearby Beamish Museum.
I'm using fabrics chosen by my God Mother - it will be a present for her and I want to get it finished before Baby comes. I made really good progress and did the majority of the second pieced border - one more pieced border to go!
Thanks everyone for a fantastic weekend - especially Linda!
