Scrub Stitchin’

 I’m sitting here with Annette at dinner last night  enjoying our fresh prawns but no risotto, Sorry Chooky.


Feeling guilty as I have not done a post yet about my recent trip.


This year I was lucky enough to have a week away and go to Scrub Stitchin’. I have finally met a few ladies that I have been zooming with, thanks to Chooky, during covid. Zooming has brought us all a step closer together but actually meeting them was amazing.

It was about a 1000 kms trip to get there and very worth it. I have taken a few pics from some other blogs as I didn’t take many.

When we arrived the tables were set. We just had to pick a seat.



Some progress photos.

I worked on the twister quilt as the designated project if you wanted to join in. My blocks were sewn together.

Then cut up again

Resewn  together.


Then I was challenged to make a mini with the scraps. Challenge accepted.



Another placemat made.

I also made another 2 pink placemats to join in with RSC & table scrap challenge.



Hopefully I can attend again next year.

Here are just a few places to go see some more about Scrub Stitchin’ .

Chooky,  Jindi ,  Janice,  Sue  I know there are more out there which I will enjoy reading.

Thanks ladies for a great time.

That was a long trip for you, 1000km! But well worth it, I'm sure. I didn't realise that twister blocks were made that way, thanks for showing the process.
You all seemed to have a great time away at Scrub Stitching, such fun
