Barbara J's retreat project. Stacked Bricks. 

This is Lea Ann's bag.  We all wanted it.

And I finally finished my project from a previous retreat.  Serendipity. This is the small one and the large was finished too.  

I was so busy admiring the projects I forgot to take many pictures.  Shame on me I know.  But Miss Peggy was always with camera in hand so I will try to get them from her and post.

And if any others of you snapped so e photos please add them.

I want to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to Louise and Peggy for everything you do to put together our retreats. We only see a portion of how much work, time, and love you put into them.  THANK YOU..THANK YOU..THANK YOU

Next retreat in September.....I can't wait.  Maybe I can get my merry go round completed..hahahahahahaha   I can dream.lol

Happy stitching....

Just 3 more days

Can you believe it is just three more days to Retreat!  I can't.

I did finally start getting things together last night.  Yes I know I am procrastinating but I just can't decide what to work on.  I am taking my unfinished MerryGoRound to finish, I have two make that three more to put borders on so those are going, but what to "start on"?     I haven't figured out "who" is next.  I need fabric to complete Brothers Choice. I think I will take my bag of leaders and enders and start putting them together to see just how many I have.  These will need lots of trimming as my mother-in-love cut them hoping she could see to piece them, well she has macular degeneration and there is nothing straight or the same size on these, but I am going to use them anyway.  Maybe a quilt for dad he is always cold and it is worse since his accident.

Well unfortunately I have to go to work which means I gotta get moving.   The shower is calling my name....  Shower is fine work not so much..lol

Remember it is quilting night...see ya there.

ROW QUILT - IN PROGRESS

I'm having a lot of fun with this row quilt - So glad Sharon got us started on this.  I changed blocks for a couple of rows and I'm about to run out of background fabric - that's when I'll really have to get creative to figure out how to finish this using whatever fabric I have on hand (hopefully).  My resolution to use us some of my stash has been working pretty good so far this year.  So far I think my favorite row has been the houses.  The six rows in the pic have not been sewn together yet.   And the houses don't even have the sashing and end pieces.   I'll add these to the 4 completed rows later on.  I substituted chicken hens for the mittens and hearts for the leaves.  

I've finished the quilting on my miniature whole cloth "cross" quilt that I'm making for my daughter.  Now I'm in the process of doing the trapunto work using the needle and yarn technique.  I sure hope it looks good when it's finished.   I'll try to take a photo then - rather hard for me to photograph white on white!

This time next week our spring retreat will be history.  And I'm already planning for fall!  

I'm stuck!

Do you ever get stuck and not know hat you want to work on.  Well that's where I am..stuck.

I try not to have too many projects going at once (my brain cant handle that much..lol) and I usually do not start a new quilt until I have a person in mind to give it to.  I am attempting to make a quilt for my family this year. I have a couple that just need the borders completed but I'm having trouble deciding who is next and what quilt pattern to make for them.   And this makes it hard to get busy on the ones I have to finish.

Maybe I will get an idea and something will inspire me.

Happy Mother's Day, ladies.  Have a blessed day.

Here are Greg M., Allison and lil Ava

We enjoyed going to hear Allison and Greg sing. Ava was such the entertainer. She danced for everyone and when people applauded for Alli and Greg, Ava would bow.. So cute.

It was good to get to meet Allison's boyfriend Jason's parents. Dorothy is a quilter too but we didn't get to visit about quilting as we were in a restaurant/bar to hear the kids sing.

We also got to see our boy Danny and his buddies.

And we got to see our girl Michele. She took our picture..

It has been a lazy day for me. I have had a headache and a sore neck all day. I did manage to cook lunch do laundry and scrub my bathroom. Had to get the hairspray off the floor... The drawback to using "got to be glued" spray.

Hopefully I can get some sewing done tomorrow.

Have a blessed day.
