Lets start with Scrub Stitchin' posts........
wow what a year.........this year I decided to set up on the Sunday before the retreat which was great that the dining room was not in use........the final touches I added on the Wednesday morning and I must say this made life so much easier.........
huge thanks to Di (and Rusty), Mary, Brenda, Mum and Mr Chooky for helping with the setup.......
AND this year I decided that we would set up for the theme dinner before the retreat started........it takes time the last few years and I thought we could enjoy it for longer............
The theme for dinner was "Winter Wonderland in the Warrumbungles"...........
Di sourced the bags for me and I am not sure where she got them but they looked fabulous on the tables.........
Slowly the room filled up and more quilts got hung on the walls............
Unfortunately the power went out in the afternoon.........turned out to be a major black out for about 3 hours for the whole town so in the end we headed up early to the Bowling Club for dinner.
Lucky we had planned the Bowling Club for dinner this year as they have an emergency generator so they could still cook our meals........
Of course we went back to sewing again once dinner was completed.............one of the girls won a meat raffle.........and we put a bit of money into the club..........
Just realised i don't have very many photos from day one so that's day one done....
Catch you later.......
