Quilt Retreat!

So a weekend of quilting and fun! What could be better! Right now as I type we are playing our Chinese gift exchange, which in our guild is dangerous! Right now I am sitting here with a beautiful Laura Burch bag but will be pure luck if it does not get taken. Whoops update...I've had 3 gifts stolen so far!

We've been sewing all Friday evening and all day today. Another treat for us is at each meal we are surprised with little gifts made by our members such as a quilted luggage tag, little quilted coin purse, and a kit to try our own Sashiko, we have two more treats tomorrow so much fun!;-) The best thing is I have almost got the Lehigh quilt top completed! Hopefully my son will not read my blog because I am so proud I'm posting it! Sadly, he will never know how much work it has been. Well off to steal........

Weekend Retreat!

Yeah! Tomorrow evening I get to join my quilting gang for a weekend retreat! Nothing but quilting Friday evening till Sunday!
We escape to a great quiet facility with great setups and sew away! They've come up with a theme but I am going to use it as a finally get to catch up weekend. I am focused to complete some upcoming deadlines. My little secret for the time being...you never know who might be reading my blog ;-) and I don't want any surprises ruined! Here is my butterfly contribution to one of our members who has made a move. We all got a piece of her favorite blue fabric to put in our square and she is a famous butterfly lover! We'll present the squares this weekend. Thankfully I remembered last night lol......... oh well better than completely forgetting! Well got to go finish packing and check my list. A wonderful weekend to all!

It's raining.....

Well rain has been upon us but gave me time to refocus on my quilting. I have been working on the famous t-shirt quilt and must admit it is proving harder to design then my other son's t-shirt quilt. The first one had a couple football jerseys to balance out the two bottom corners and the colors I used were much easier to balance or place where I felt they belonged. This one I had a block about for a while but I am on a roll since the deadline is fast approaching. Probably will miss the first deadline I set for myself but will make the second date for sure. Anyway it's coming along.........
Love my birds by the way........
