Millrose Get together and a third Red Door?

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day at Millrose in Ballan 

with a wonderful group of very talented ladies.

A day full of fun, friends a lot of laughter and true to form not a lot of stitching (well for me!)

Here it the proof that I did set up for the day.

and here is a pic of the same project this morning.

As you can, only a little progress was made :o)

Our swap theme this time around was Michelle Ridgway Designs.

Shez has already done a post of everyone opening their swap gifts so if you would like to see visit HERE

and whilst I am mentioning Shez :o)  Shez and I share the same "feelings" over Mug Rugs!

The very funny "Gisborne Girls" gave Shez a surprise Birthday gift a lunch :o)

Trying to get her to "rethink" or "overcome" her dislike of them they presented her with some Mug Rugs and a Mug Rug Book.  All very funny but I still don't think Shez has changed her opinions on them! lol

Now to the third Red Door.
We were very lucky to be given a look at the house next door which is being done up as a Retreat House.
OMG!
It is beautiful inside. The finishes are amasing, the touches and attention to detail already are perfect.
The lighting and the huge windows. In a word PERFECT.

Here is a little glimpse.


I cant wait until it's finished and we all book our first "Stitching Retreat".
Just imagine, a lovely restaurant, right next door is Millrose Cottage and then next door is the Retreat House.
Perfect combination. LOVE

My Retail Therapy :o)

Some Tilda Fabrics for my version of the "Aspen Glow" Pattern I showed last week.

A new pattern, "Message in a Bottle" by Focus on Quilts

This Quilt was on display at the last get together and I loved it. 

Now I can start stashing some fabrics for it.

Whilst standing there chatting away this quilt caught my eye even though it was folded over a chair.
"Oh la la" by Wattlebird Designs



I have been keeping my eyes open for a Paris inspired quilt for Keegan's room so snapped some photos to show Keegan  .....  she loves it.  Mind you she is not thrilled with these colours of the original but does have a great idea for her version.  Now to find the pattern.
Anyone have one that they want to sell cheap?  :o)

So another fantastic Millrose Bloggers Meet.
Thank you ladies.

hugs Sharon
