This weekend I’ll be off to Mittagong for the 2014 Quilting in the Highlands retreat<\/a> organised by Berrima Patchwork. Mittagong is in the Southern Highlands, south of Sydney. Given that it is winter in Australia at the moment, it’s a bit cold, and in winter it is always colder in the Southern Highlands. We don’t get snow in Sydney, but they do sometimes get snow down there. I’m not sure that we’re expecting snow this weekend though!<\/p>\n

I’ll be teaching a Mountmellick class on Saturday and Sunday. The class is full, which will be lovely. I’m sure we’ll have lots of fun learning and playing with stitches! You’re right if you’re thinking “Mountmellick isn’t quilting”, but the organisers are very happy to provide embroidery classes, because embroidery can be used on quilts.<\/p>\n

This year (I was a teacher for the 2013 retreat<\/a> as well) there are more teachers and more classes. There are some dinners organised in the evenings for entertainment, and each of the teachers will have a display of their work. I’ll take some Mountmellick with me, and also some of my Sardinian projects.<\/p>\n

We’re guaranteed to have a wonderful weekend. If you’re coming along to my class, I look forward to meeting you and spending some fun time together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
