It was a relaxing weekend with a fantastic bunch of talented people... a very colour-conscious bunch they were, too....
Megan had jars of colour-sorted buttons.
Lara's wine was in a careful tonal arrangement with her threads.
Kathryn and Rachel created a very pretty white and pastel table setting that co-ordinated beautifully with sauv-blanc.
Jodie's multi-coloured thread stand matched her multiple crafting talents. I particularly liked how the reds in the stand matched the Coopers label.
And it was extraordinary how Catherine and I managed to co-ordinate glass-filling time.
Annie somehow evaded my camera, but was her usual multi-talented, colour-co-ordinated self.
Thanks girls, for a fantastic weekend of great fun, food and laughter, and the opportunity to be present amongst so much talent and damn fine company.
I'd also like to thank my camera battery charger for having a cord that (amazingly) fits a Bernina Aurora 440. Without it, I would have been doing a lot of hand sewing for the weekend.
Ooh I bet you all had Sooo much fun. And I see nearly as many wine glasses as cotton reels, so I guess you did!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Lovely post Nikki. I'm so glad you all had such a great time! x
ReplyDeleteOooh sewing and wine. My two favourite things!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an interesting and fun time with the ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteGood wine, good sewing and good company - what more could you ask for?!
ReplyDeleteSo extremely jealous!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a ball.
Andi :-)
PS Is there any colour that doesn't go with sauv-blanc?
Looks like you all had a fabulous weekend!! Good friends, wine, fun and sewing - what a perfect combination!! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, can't wait for my trip, you've made me jealous now!
ReplyDeleteI sort of get the impression that there wasn't a whole lot of sewing in straight lines happening?
ReplyDeleteSo much fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I could hear you girls laughing all the way from Ballarat! Lots more fun than my fluey weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy that you all had so much fun again.....look forward to hearing the 'real' stories in detail!
ReplyDeleteOh did you do some subtraction cutting? I should imagine that after a few wines it would be even harder - or maybe easier? And way to go on the camera cord?! Twice on previous weekends we've had people forget cords. Oh the humanity!!
ReplyDeleteI'm counting down the days! You had such glorious weather for it too.
ReplyDeleteNikki, that is the PERFECT roundup of the weekend! You've just saved me a blog post - I'll just direct everyone over here!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great weekend Nikki - and I have a great shot of you, lining up those shots .
ReplyDeleteLooks like a tad bit of alco-mohol was consumed! haha
ReplyDeleteI have left you an award on my blog :)
How incredibly resourceful you are to even try the camera cord in the machine! Looks like fun and a well deserved time out! xx
ReplyDeletethat's abit weird that camera charger bit. And, I agree that youre a freak (nice one) for thinking of trying it! Sounds like an ace weekend was had by all and who is the great mannequin in the photos?
