A group from my fabulous quilting guild,
NOTYQ enjoyed a stitchery day at the
Patchwork Tea House in
Warburton yesterday. Of course I had a great time. Delightful company, a relaxing day of stitching and lots and lots of yummy treats to eat. Here's a picture of the whole happy group, looking very industrious.
I don't know what I did to my camera but this is the spooky image I got. In reality it was not dark, as you can see in the photo below.
These stitchery days are wonderful and great value. You get to choose a project to stitch, which Marilyn prepares for you, a lovely devonshire tea in the morning, lunch and delicious cake for afternoon tea. All for $40.
I didn't actually do a huge amount of stitching, as I was having a lot of fun chatting, eating and looking at all the wonderful fabric and treasures for sale in the gorgeous shop. I did buy a couple of lovely gifts but I can't show you here, just in case they are for you.
Here's what I stitched
I like it so much I plan to keep working on it this afternoon. Finally here's a view of the river from the teahouse car park.
Lovely to see the river flowing so beautifully. After our ten years of drought I am so grateful for all the beautiful water we have again.
FABULOUS FREE STUFF
I popped over to
Red Brolly and look at the project Bronwyn is sharing today.
Isn't it gorgeous. Bronwyn is always so generous with what she shares. Many thanks.
lovely pics Mel,strange with your 1st pic being so dark,what a lovely place.xx

Glad you had a lovely day. I did think about you as I was cleaning (oops, Fiona will say I am swearing!) the house! Your little stitchery looks lovely. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely day. I did think about you when I was cleaning (oops, Fiona will tell me off for swearing!) the house although I did get to stitch in the afternoon. Your little stitchery looks lovely. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
ReplyDeletethe teahouse is such a lovely venue, lucky you!!

ReplyDeleteWeren't we talking about that when you were at my Bundoora exhibition? I still haven't been there! Guess I'll just have to join NOTYQ if I am serious about getting to some of these great spots! When are you coming over here? I'm only a few blocks away, lol!
