First up my friend and I enjoyed our mini stay at home sewing retreat via Facetime. She had not done a retreat before and enjoyed the experience so we have planned to do another one. While we chatted I managed to make a good start on my landscape quilt. As I wanted to get the binding on an early start was made in the sewing room when joining Wendy and the others for FNSI.
I am really pleased with the result and there are plans to start another one soon. Daphne started a stitchery and made good progress during the day. She even taught herself a new knot stitch. She has plans to put the finished stitchery onto the front of a bag.
Not far to go until we reach the parking area from where we started
The girls - being my walking companions plus one other - and I enjoyed a coffee morning together.
The bees are busy in the garden at the moment buzzing around the lavender and daisies.
Off to the sewing room to work on a few projects - nothing big - a small snap top bag, a wallhanging as well fiddling with the placement of fabric for the next landscape quilt. More on those later as they progress from ideas to reality.
Linking with Finished or Not Finished Friday
Back soon and in the meantime
Happy sewing all

Your little landscape is SEW cute!! I can't imagine doing a Zoom retreat. I'd like to hear more about how you managed that.
The landscape is so serene. Will be a lovely piece to look upon each day.
Loving that landscape!!what a fun finish for your mini retreat!
Well done on those walks, I keep talking about getting started, thanks for the tour in your area. Great landscape quilt.
Your landscape quilt is lovely. How fun to be able to share via Facetime. I need to look into this. Great way to spend some time with friends. Something else I should look into - it'd be nice to find 1 or 2 walking companions to explore the outdoors. Enjoyed your post.
Your little landscape is a great finish - always good to get out for a walk with friends. xx
Lovely landscape -- both your project and your walk about the lake. Since I live "across the pond" I had to convert the 8 kilometers. Nice walk -- 5 miles! So nice that it was circuitous so you didn't have to backtrack. Thanks for sharing!
That's quite a long walk... great to do with friends. your landscape looks great and glad the 'retreat' went well....
