RETREAT-RETREAT-RETREAT

Seven (7) - yes seven glorious days of retreat at Toddhall in Columbia, IL with six of my favorite friends.  Who could ask for anything more!!!

Here are a few pics of what we accomplished yesterday on Day 1!

Chris got a strippy baby quilt stripped and now working on "Three's a Quilt"

 

Carol is working on "Amish with a Twist" blocks

 

 Marie finished a quilt for grandson Landen  (this started as a twin, but now he is in a full).

Glad she had extra fabric!!!  See-always buy more, you never know when you may need it.

 

Edna is working on some half square triangle for a guild project.  Now she is

adjusting a border on an Eleanor Burns Irish Chain quilt.

Pat finished a new guild project she will be teaching (minus the border)

 called "Clues along the Uneven Path".

Me- well I finished the repro version of "The Village".  Our 2nd Saturday series

that ended Saturday.  Don't think I will put an outer border on it-it just says FINISHED to me. 

Have all of the 4 patches stripped, cut and ready to make into the sashing for the

batik version.  These will be my leader-enders for my next project-Civil War Love Letters.

Also have squared up my half-squares for Hearth and Home blocks for QOV!

Margaret-Margaret---Where in the world is Margaret?

We miss you-hurry down!

Stay tuned tomorrow for the next version of Where in the world is Margaret?

Till tomorrow

Trudging Along

Weather here at the lake has been gorgeous!

A little warm, but breeze blowing and today was overcast but nice.

 

Sat outside with Connie for a little hand sewing

(with frozen Hurricane close at hand).

 

I did manage to get the Village blocks finished for 2nd Saturday,

but to bad I won't be there

(sorry Margaret)

 

 

I picked up some fabric on our eastern Illinois trip on Monday before the lake and made

granddaughter Emma some pillowcases for her new bedroom

 

 

The baseball one is for grandson Hayden's new room.

 

I have been trudging along on Hampton Ridge.  I have half of the blocks done for the quilt

21 to be exact. 

 

 

I think tomorrow I will cut out the mystery quilt for next week.

 

Stay tuned for a sneak peak.
