Another great weekend - Thursday lunchtime until after Sunday lunch and a 2 hour drive home! We were a group of 24 girls staying in gorgeous accommodation and looked after by our wonderful hosts, Delvene and Peter! Thank you so much, Barb for all your organization to bring about such a memorable retreat for us all!.jpg)
Gorgeous Girl, Raelene with her courthouse steps - not finished yet and I know some of you have seen a small strip before!

Raelene's 9-patch. She has a wonderful way of bringing charm to her quilts!.jpg)
This stunner is Sheila's quilt made for her daughter - the top was started and finished over the weekend!.jpg)
Here's Louise quilting her Christmas quilt, joined by Carole with her delightful cross-stitch!.jpg)
Gloria's great block - I was so thrilled to see it as it on my 'to-do' list and I have fabrics, patterns and ruler on hand - I could jump in today and make a start, but I have to put in too much time to put in as a domestic engineer!.jpg)
Too cute! Fran's blocks for a baby quilt..jpg)
Indulgence! Teena enjoying her reflexology..jpg)
Coffee! This machine went day and night..jpg)
One of the biggest thrills of the weekend - twin goats were born!.jpg)
Ten frogs on one leaf - how wonderful is nature!♥
I hope you have enjoyed your little visit to Avalon - there's more to come - oh, I am feeling so refreshed!

Lurline,
I am completely jealous. I wish I could time to do this with fellow crafters. I especially love the dial pieced one.

Looks like a great time, Lurline! Raelene's quilts are simple, but beautiful. I love the bear posing with them... cute! Twin goats and 10 frogs... neat! I see you're keeping us waiting to see what you got done. ;-)
Hello Lurline, Looks like a fantastic time was had by all and lots of sewing got done. I do love the colours in Gloria's block. Those frogs look great sitting there. I hope they didn't keep you awake.
I am not sure what it is about Hexagons - do like them - gasp after making 1800 plus, could I go again! hmmm maybe - just maybe..
I do not drop many comments, but after reading a few of the responses here "Avalon 2009 - Part 1".
I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be only me or does it look as if like some of these comments look like they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at other social sites, I'd like to keep up with
you. Could you make a list of every one of your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page
or linkedin profile?
