Fabric Mosaic Retreat

Robyn Taylor held a Fabric Mosaics class at Russelle BnB Tumut this weekend. Two ladies travelled up from Sydney plus Wagga and Batlow. The results were stunning.

Our Bali Quilting Retreat is now full for 2016. The guest teacher for the 2016, retreat is Chris Dowell for Toowoomba.  Chris is a wonderful artist as well as a brilliant quilter. 

Chris was runner up for the AQC Traditions with a Twist completion this year.  We are taking expressions of interest for our 2017.  If you and information for this retreat when it is finalised please let us know and we will send the information out. The retreat gives you the opportunity to make your own batik panel, sew with like minded ladies, learn about the culture of Bali and of course buying lots of fabric. 

Russellee BnB welcomes groups of like minded people to enjoy a retreat in their chosen field of craft.  If you have a group of 5 - 10 looking for a venue please contact us.

Small Group Craft Retreats

Come and join one of Russellee BnB Tumut’s Small Group Craft Retreats.  We cater from groups of 4 – 12 people.  We have just had a Scrapbooking Retreat with four great ladies.

Cropping Weekend

Tony and I had two great weeks in Tasmania. Lots of photo opportunities. Tasmaina is a great place to tour around. I did not know much about it until we went. I now have a greater understanding of it and enjoyed it very much. There was a lot of diversity, history and

wonderful food. The Makehams team and fellow passenger were great to be with. If you have not been to Tassie try and go. It is worth the effort.

On Saturday we had a scrapping day which flowed over to Sunday. I managed to get some layouts done for myself. There was a newby to Scrapbooking. Sarah managed to complete two layouts. a great effort considering she had not done it before.
