Retreat Day 5

DEPRESSED!!!!

We have passed the half way mark in our 7 day retreat. 

We are in awe of how fast the time has gone by.

Could we be thinking that 7 days in just not enough time at retreat?  

Could we maybe be thinking about pushing the envelope to 10 days?

Or

Maybe 14 days would be just the amount of time we need to get ALL of the projects

one brings to retreats completed.

(OR maybe we just shouldn't bring so many)

But I really don't think 12 projects for 7 days is too many.  Do you???

Give me your thoughts on this one---

Here is the show and tell from what was accomplished yesterday.

Chris was working on a new BOM "American Heritage" by Bits n Pieces she picked up

while on vacation. (The flag)

She also did Chocolate Covered Cherries and a couple of Civil War Love Letters blocks.

Edna continued to work on Infinite Variety blocks.  Again, I just love this colorway.

Marie also worked on Infinite Variety blocks.

By the way, if I wait till tomorrow it will be too late.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIE!

Pat put her quilt together from yesterday called "Wistful".

After putting it together, she decided it needed a pieced border 

(in other words, she wanted to "Carol-ize it".

That is our new word for those that want to make a quilt larger.

Carol (who inspired our "Carol-ize it" saying) is

still trudging along with her log cabin blocks.

STORY

If you have heard this before, just click on down to the next picture. If not, read on.

Carol is known for making large quilts.  I mean LARGE, really LARGE quilts.

These suckers are a minimum of 135" x 140". 

Thus the term "Carol-ize it".

Ok, back to the pics.

Margaret arrived after work and immediately started on cutting out project to sew.

Like Edna and Marie, I worked on Infinite Variety.

I finished the remainder of my second colorway for July (all but the feathered star) and

then August (feathered star and some flying geese units and a square in square unit I forgot to get out of the box for the pic.  I also prepped all of the red/white units for the demo in August.

Connie, our quilting buddy has been having a virtual retreat at home.  Hope some of you are also 

quilting along with us.

Please post in the comments your progress.

Happy quilting
