Autumn Retreaters

I have just had an amazing weekend with a group of retreaters from Rotorua and points south. Eight gals arrived with a plethora of colourful projects and went home with many completed or at least on the way.

It is their enthusiasm that is so inspiring and shows in the comments they made on the weekend:

- A wonderful weekend, filled with great creativity, fabulous friends, amazing food and the best camp mother in town! So good for the soul! Thanks Natalie

- A whole lot of sewing, a whole lot of food and a whole load of fun and laughter. See you next year for more.

- Such fun! Such fun! To sew, laugh, eat fabulous food, enjoy great friends. What more could you ever want ... many thanks

- Fantastic weekend. A huge learning experience for me. I can't wait to come back for more ...

- Sewing for the Soul at Natalie's Thank you ... you are a continuous inspiration

- Fabulous time - good friends, great host, lots of fun. Natalie, I am sure you will learn to love my quilt!

The weekend menu included: Pea and Ham soup with herb bread and a fresh crusty fruit loaf for supper. Saturday's lunch: cold chicken with warm pumpkin salad (topped with caramelised pumpkin seeds), pasta salad and green herby salad from the garden and for dinner a slow cooked beef casserole. That was served with braised red cabbage, stir-fried garden greens and horseradish potato mash. For dessert we had feijoa and raspberry crumble with custard and cream.
