Lots of Show and Tell today as the Retreat ladies bring all their finished items from the 4 days to show off.
Apologies from the blogperson who was so excited to get a volunteer to look after the camera while she was away, she neglected to show same person how the autofocus button worked. Thanks for all the many photos, and descriptions though. Really appreciated. And remember, it's about the sewing, not the photography!

| Iris didn't go to Retreat, but she has spent some time on this quilt between various hospital visits. Iris won some truck blocks from the Convoy BomB in May 2015. Hasn't she made a fabulous quilt for a little boy? Look at the I-Spy sashing blocks and even one truck turned into "Ollie's Pie Van". He will just love it. |
 |
| Those ladies at retreat know how to be fashionistas! Marlena's challenge for everyone was microwave safe soup bowl holders. Looks like everyone enjoyed making these. |
 |
| Cheryl made this very bright banana print quilt for her daughter to put in her yellow car which she calls "the banana". |
 |
| Robyn pieced this very coordinated zigzag table runner after just picking up some spare charm squares at our demo. Well done Robyn. It looks great. |
 |
| Marlena made a little play mat for the coming grandchild. |
 |
| The present table runner Marlena demonstrated to everyone. |
 |
| A very fancy curved piece Christmas Tree table runner by Marlena |
 |
| A bright and cheery Christmas table runner which has pictures aligned for both sides of the table to enjoy. |
 |
| A little Star Quilt by Marlena |
 |
| Another Marlena quilt made of half-square triangles |
 |
| Jean's simply dramatic black and white quilt. (No, it's not your eyes, it's the photo, but this is just such a fantastic idea, we thought it should stay in.) |
 |
| Phillipa pieced this Cherry Pop Quilt Kit. |
 |
| These Japanese fabrics were a gift from Phillipa's friend. What a lovely gift. It has made a stunning quilt. |
 |
| And this is Phillipa's Eungella quilt. Each year she works on a particular quilt and it looks like she nailed this one this year. |
 |
| You can never go wrong with black, white and yellow. Joan has made a happy and bright quilt here. |
 |
| Joan and Charmaine use the same pattern every year to make quilts in different fabrics. Joan's was a very calming blue. |
 |
| Everyone just fell in love with Joan's gorgeous bright giraffes. And that is one stunning piece of background fabric. |
 |
| Del finished piecing this Crossed Kayak quilt. It must be the modern version of the old Crossed Canoes pattern. |
 |
| Brenda finished her half-hexie Christmas Charity tablerunner |
 |
| Brenda's Eungella Quilt |
 |
| Marilyn added some borders to her fairy panel. |
 |
| Marilyn has always wanted to have one of the ironing and iron carrier mats. Someone at retreat was able to lend her the pattern. |
