It’s hard to believe that it has already been a It’s hard to believe that it has already been a week since #peaks20.
One of the many wonderful things I love about the #patchworkinthepeaks retreat is the fun of giving and receiving secret sister gifts over our weekend there. 
This was one of the many beautiful gifts I received from my wonderful and most talented secret sister last weekend. 
This blew me away when I first laid eyes on it and continues to do so every time I look at it. I can’t wait to get it properly framed and hanging in my kitchen!

It‘s a dull, damp and chilly day so I‘ve retir It‘s a dull, damp and chilly day so I‘ve retired to my sewing room for a lunchtime break with some EPP, a mug of tea and the latest episode of The Great British Sewing Bee.

Little by little my extra large cushion cover is c Little by little my extra large cushion cover is coming together.
I got all of the Liberty pieces cut and basted at Peaks. Now I‘m slowly piecing the blocks while trying to decide on a second background colour as I don’t think I will have enough of the purple.

Some parting shots take as we finished up Patchwor Some parting shots take as we finished up Patchwork in the Peaks 20 at the beautiful La Ferme du Lac Vert in Montriond yesterday.
It was such a fun filled few days filled with endless laughter and fun and lots of great sewing. I‘m already looking forward to Peaks 21 come autumn!

Saturday at Patchworks in the Peaks. I took a sto Saturday at Patchworks in the Peaks. 
I took a stoll to enjoy the wonderful weather and beautiful sights.
I did a little shopping where I was gifted some Maiglöckchen (Lily of the Valley)on celebration of May Day tomorrow.
And in between it all sewing table has become ever more cluttered with my ever growing EPP work, my flowers and one or twi pre-dinner g&ts.

It’s my first full day at #peaks20 and what a da It’s my first full day at #peaks20 and what a day it has been. 
There has been no end of sewing. - I‘ve filled my time with EPP while others have worked on retreat projects or personal projects.
We‘ve chatted and laughed, enjoyed great food, a dice swap game and  even some hot tub time.
These are the days that memories are made of (and great quilts too ofc) 😁
