Retreat Saturday lunch & RED night dinner

On Saturday we sat down for our lunch and we’re given a little gift. This gift is to be made for/by the retreat next year.

The table was set.

And a gift was given.

The finished project we are to make.

It was a lovely pin cushion on a wooden base. There were 3 sizes. Small, medium and large. I received a medium size. There was fabric of a printed Japanese fabric or a plain which you could work a design of sashiko on it. I have chosen a design to work on the plain fabric using a variegated sashiko thread. Hopefully I can get to the retreat next year to share my gift

Now, for dinner we were to wear red. Well that was a bit hard as I didn’t own anything red and I couldn’t find anything in the shops at home. It is not an easy colour to find. So off to the clearance shelf in Spotlight to buy some fabric. I made a pair of pj’s as this is what I wear on zoom when I talk to all the ladies. I thought it was fitting and even more so, I was very comfortable and felt like I was at home.

​​​​I did pinch the table decoration to put on my head.
