Scrub Stitchin' 2025 Day 4 part 1.........

 Wow day 4 had so much happening that I had to split it into a few parts.................

A beautiful grevillea...............

the bushes are always flowering when we have Scrub Stitchin'

unusual colour for a bottle brush...........it a lime colour.............

Lots of sewing happening around the room................

You can see both the group quilts happening on the design wall above and below...........it was an optional project.........the girls made one or two blocks to contribute.........we got so many we split them into two quilts and made a few extras for the second one...........

Every year we have a group photo.............I have already shared the group photo but Mick got carried away with my camera so here's a bit more of the fun............

Scrub Stitchin' 2025 Day 3.........

                                 I will back date this post to fit in in near the others.......... 

                                             Another busy day for everyone..............

Sandy from Shiralee Stitches brought along some of her shop which was so pretty............I may have succumb to some purchases...........

Its always great to move the tables around and lay out some quilts................this one belongs to Di............its beautiful...........

Brenda made us a couple of Ginger Fluff Sponge cakes......she is prize winning for these cakes and they are as light as a feather............

more laying out.............

a beautiful paddock lily I found on a walk...............

dragged a few of the girls off on a short walk.............got to keep moving.............and the mozzies only collected up under Kate's dress so that was good for us...........

I think this was a Kawandi lesson.............

Kate had stolen Jo's hat that she made..........

Cuppa and chat times are treasured.............

Another quilt being laid out..........

I worked on my binding and finally I think I got it finished on Friday..............

very slow process..........but I think I was quicker at sewing it down then attaching it to start with.........

I found this little quote.......

"One secret of life is that life works at all because not everyone in your tribe is nuts on the same day. Another secret is that laughter is carbonated holiness" - Anne Lamont

All to quickly the retreat is passing by...........

but the moments are treasured by me and the joy of looking around the room seeing everyone mixing with each other........enjoying the wins and helping with the challenges.........

the conversations are many and varied..............

the colour, styles, skills, thoughts are many and varied but all valued just as they are........

it is a very special tribe to be part of..........

I am honored and so fortunate....

Scrub Stitchin' day 2......

 Scones on retreat are mandatory.............
so 10am Thursday they were delivered perfect timing for morning tea.............

Served up with jam and cream..........the only way to eat scones...........

the gorgeous bottle brush were from the garden at Camp Cypress and I did get permission to pick some............

the other blossoms and leaves were from mine and Brenda's gardens...........

it worked well together...........
