After such a wonderful three days away on the NOTYQ Quilt Retreat this month's Tuesday Treasure is Sewing with Friends.
Although I love to chat, I do also enjoy quietly sitting and sewing while in the garden, watching TV, or listening to an audio book. Most of my sewing gets done this way.
(This is my favourite sewing spot)
I have to admit that when I'm at my weekly NOTYQ sit and sew I spend a lot of time running around looking at what others are sewing, chatting and generally not applying myself to my sewing tasks.
However when I had two full days and evenings to sew I did get quite a bit done. And it was wonderful to sit and sew with like minded people. It was indeed a time to treasure.
Do you have something you treasure to share with us today. It can be a thing, a place, a person. An activity, a hope or a dream. As long as it is important to you it qualifies as a treasure. Please add you details to Mr Linky and play along.

Your sewing spot looks so cozy and relaxing. I need to check out an audio book from the library and try sewing to it. I haven't done that yet.
ReplyDeleteI love your stitching spot almost as much as I love your room with all the books and the comfy couch. :) Looks like a good time was had by all at the retreat. You know I'm loving those bunnies. ;)

I love your sewing spot. Very tranquil. I love reading and audio books allow us to multi-task. However, what I treasure most of late are my newly found friends through blogging. What an amazing group of ladies bloggers are.
ReplyDeleteI love Tuesdays Treasures! Love your favourite sewing spot too, very tranquil and pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove those little Easter bunnies. They look especially cute as part of a crowd.
ReplyDeleteOh Melody - I LOVE your sewing spot!!! Such a beautiful place to sit and sew or dream or listen to your audio books - I can imagine lovely smelling plants too!! I think having sewing days with friends is so good for the soul...you come away refreshed and ready to take on the world!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful spot for sewing and listening to an audio book. What more could a person ask for. Love the bunnies.

That looks like such an inviting place to sit and sew. I'll have to join you out there one day Mel. The only time I sit outside to stitch is when I'm away on holidays!

ReplyDeleteYour sewing spot looks very peaceful. I love being able to look at the garden. Your give away is so cute. I don't have a treasure post this week but I have been writing about how much I use my iPad. I think I will keep that post for next Tuesday treasures.

that spot in your garden looks like paradise... as I live in England, we only get about 3 days a year where you can sit out! The bunnies on the pattern are SO cute!
