What a fantastic weekend we all had here at "Sewjourn".
We enjoyed beautiful weather, a perfect venue, wonderful company and, surprisingly, lots of sewing!
The cottage was fully equipped with everything you would ever need. This is the view from the studio.

Rachel's quilt for Maya
Blogless Megan's quilt - amazing or what!
Gorgeous Nikki whipping up clothes for herself and her little one in two seconds flat!
Annie had so many things on the go and she ticked all but one thing off her list of her things to do! Go Annie!
Lara made loads of very cute clothes for her little girls as well as a few things for herself.
And here is the Irish Flower Quilt that I managed to finish (apart from the binding). Thank you Jan (owner) for holding it up. I don't think I will be making another one, but I am really happy with it. I did have a few teething problems with the pattern being "out" slightly. I had to cut down the centre white squares as they were too big. I also managed to finish the stacked coins quilt. I'll have to post a photo tomorrow.
And did I mention how wonderful my "boys" are? Well, this is what was waiting for me on my arrival home. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I am a really lucky gal.
Thank you to these girls for one of the best weekends ever!!!
