It is so like the night before Christmas - I feel like a kid again - so looking forward to a four day retreat at Avalon - near a quaint, charming country town north east of Perth in Western Australia!.jpg)
I have been lucky enough to spend the day preparing some stitching to take with me. My chosen fabrics are working beautifully, now to make sure the tiny little stitches will complement the applique nicely.
Yesterday I spent quite some time in a nearby shopping centre while DH had cataract surgery - all went well and I posted four parcels, three to the US and one to Narromine. Other than that I had lunch and bought a nail file and buffer - certainly not exciting and neither was the coffee and lunch - if there ever is a next time like that it will be spent doing a quilt-shop-hop, lol!
'Til next Monday - stay safe - happy stitching!

Your applique blocks is lovely .... I like how you fussy cut the 3 upper leaves. I've been admiring the pattern for a while now.
Cataract surgery .... been through that twice with my Mom and there is usually a lot of sitting around waiting. Good to have a project on hand to bide the time.
Hope you have lots of fun. Wish I was coming too.
I like the idea of a shop hop too :-)
Have a fantastic weekend
