A few days away with hubby and kids at the Launceston Country Club Villas...as we are not travellers, this is our big holiday for the year. Lol!
So this is pretty much what I did...sit and relax, but with a nice cold beer, not a lemonade! Lol! This is the last stitchery for Gardeners Journal block F which only has to be peiced together now. I did do some stitching towards the next block whilst away too, very keen to have a GJ quilt, especially after seeing more finished quilts on the
Stitch-a-long blog!!!
I had to find a craft store whilst away, as I forgot to take an embroidery needle with me and had to purchased all these lovelies! Lots of pretty fabrics at Esmes.
I even found some border fabric for my GJ. I was going to try and use what I had in my stash for the border, but I just really liked this one and hoped it would 'work' as I didn't have any of my GJ fabric samples with me. It looks blue in picture, but its more a Teal.
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

Another terrific GJ block. I really like the golden dog. Your "vacation" sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Have a lovely weekend.
