Piranhas have left the tank!

our birthday party & cake

Yes they have left the tank that we call the retreat house. They headed for their respective homes yesterday. It seemed we only just got started and then it was time to leave, how can a weekend go by so fast? You can read about our first day together here.

warm friends and extra jackets

 On Sunday we sewed a bit in the house and then headed to our gazebo for slow stitching Sunday. This is something that Kathy has been doing on her blog for a few years. You can check it out here and here. Time to put the electric machines away for a bit and do hand work with needle and thread!But warmer clothes were needed as the temperatures here didn't get above 15 degrees Celsius all day. DH put a fire on in the cookstove in the gazebo to help a bit with the chill.

After supper we were back at the machines sewing up a storm or at least trying to get a project or two finished.Okay let's be honest....only one thing got finished. Kathy completed a small mini, complete with  binding and label. But that is not to say we didn't make in roads on other projects. Blocks were completed for future quilts, other projects got some machine quilting done and more rows were sewn onto quilt tops.

Until we meet again and can sew together...words to live by!!! Farewell Piranhas!!
