Star dinner @ Scrub Stitchin'

I have always had a themed dinner............

Try and make it a bit special......you can be super basic or go all out in the theme dress.............

🌟Stars🌟 were the theme for this year.....

take that as you may but our decorating was based on the sky..........

But we had movie 🌟stars🌟, 🌟star🌟 wars, and lots of 🌟stars🌟.......

Thanks heaps to Di and Miranda for assisting with the ideas, bring stuff and decorating........we may have had to outsource Mick for some assistance also.............

the 🌟star🌟 tulle with fairy lights under it was very effective...........

Princess Leia and Rey from Star Wars (I hope that is right never seen it sorry)

🌟Star🌟 glasses and earrings........

Shirley Temple child 🌟star🌟 on the left..........

more 🌟stars🌟

Shirley being corrupted here..........

Something weird was going on with our glasses here but it adds to the 🌟star🌟 theme right............

Jenny showing off her 🌟star🌟 glasses also.........

We even had the solar system.............

the "Milky way" on the left...........

and we got to eat some also..........

loved the 🌟star🌟 jumpsuits..........

Then all things 🌟starry🌟 dinner were done and back to sewing.............

My pile was growing high.............

Catch you later.........

Saturday @ Scrub Stitchin'

Saturday started bright and early with some of the girls up and ready for Chookshed Stitchers Zoom at 6am..........some may have been waiting for me at the door to get in.......

I may have been in shock but Susan (who was having a Claytons retreat at home) was even up and ready...........she's NOT a morning person.........

Janice walked around the room showing the girls what everyone was working on..........Lovely to catch up.......some of the girls had been at SS last year.......the new girls joined us also.........

Enough of zoom as it was too hard to hear once a few more people came into the room for breaky.........

back to sewing.........

I do have a photo of this one finished but this shows the quilt a bit better........Chris only had the right side border to add on here........made from a layer cake..........

See that table to the right that was all the 

Make It, Bake It or Fake It swap goodies.........that happens at the main dinner.............

blink and it was afternoon and time for show and tell.............

Raewyn had finished her Chooky's Pins and Scissorkeep by Hatched and Patched which was designed for a Bathurst Blog Meet years ago..........

It's the cutest little project......tiny........I gave a kit to Raewyn last year.........

Lianne had her Moda Love quilt finished from last year..........

Jules had her top finished.........She started this one at a retreat we went to last year at Warwick............last time I saw it she had to add the borders...........looks great.........

Di made this one with flannels and some chenille

The girls had a challenge last year to make by the next SS..........

Maureen got this top finished while at SS.............its FPP and using some Japanese fabrics.......

A collection of last years project.............

Friendship Drawstring Bag by Hatched and Patched

Kylie's quilt............so tempted to make this one.......

I've picked it up and sat it down several times............

Betty and Stephanie made their quilts together............Betty had told us about them on zoom so it was nice to see them.........especially together.............

so many more amazing quilts........I'm sure all the girls will share something else..........

Di making progress...........yes its huge and will be king size..........she's doing quilt as you go.......

then it was time to prepare for the 🌟STAR🌟themed dinner.............

everyone out except for the decorating crew...........

thats a post on it's own.........

Catch you later...........

Mixing it up..............

Maybe someone a found a bundle of fabric to take home..............

the grounds are always so pretty........nearly each year we see something replaced, added, fixed up..........so nice to see when some show grounds are falling to the way..............

Late afternoon walk around the grounds to check out the sunset...........

I missed the next day as decorating but it was spectacular............

a jet catching the sunlight under the sliver of a moon............

so many happy faces.........
