Sheila (MissusStitches) returns after a week away, having attended her PEI stitching retreat with a small group of 13. She shares two new starts: the Gilded Santa pattern, a thoughtful belated birthday gift from her niece Siobhan, and a coffee-themed design by Tempting Tangles for her 'Q' stitch-along. She also shows progress on several WIPs, including the Green Village, Autumn Waltz, Halloween Sampler, and a winter quilt from the Five Seasons of Quilts series.

• New start: Gilded Santa, gifted by niece Siobhan, with over 1,100 stitches in two days.
• New start: 'Quality Coffee' by Tempting Tangles, stitched on Sewing Shop fabric with a variegated thread border.
• Finished a winter quilt from the Five Seasons of Quilts series at the retreat.
