Clothesline Hotpads

I made what I think is the last of these for now.           I’ve had a few comments from readers interested in making one.  The book is called It’s a Wrap:  Sewing Fabric Purses, Bask

Packing for Retreat

Friday, 9 October 2009 10:16 A GMT-05
This is what I planned to take to retreat.           This is most of what I’m taking.  The Retro Charm quilt is still hanging on the design wall.  The Fig & Plum kit is under the big pi

Remember the Woodland Bloom charm pack?  The one that encouraged me to fall off the stash-busting wagon because I needed more fabric to sew my EQ6 design?  Here are the four units that make up a block.      &nb

Retreat Report

Monday, 6 October 2008 6:41 P GMT-05
I returned from retreat early Sunday afternoon and spent the rest of the day unpacking and putting the house in order after the guys had at it.  Since I did lots of housework before I left, most of the cleanup involved laundry and food.  I

Progress?

Yesterday I began packing for retreat next weekend.  I’m glad I got an early start because I didn’t have everything I needed for one of the projects I’m taking.  Now I have time to pick up a few things without rushing arou

UFO Progress

Tuesday, 1 April 2008 7:28 P GMT-05
Last week I set goals of fixing the out of square problems with the fall round robin and selecting fabrics.  Thanks to retreat I did that and a bit more.  I ended up taking one side of the last border completely off and resewing it because

Busy Day

It’s our wedding anniversary today.   We were so young when we stood in the front of that church twenty-three years ago, but we’re still together.  I can’t wait to see what the next twenty-three years bring.  I g

Outta Here

I am off to retreat today until Sunday.  I should have projects to show and stories to tell when I get back.  I pulled out some fat quarters for the fat quarter raffle, but after the block raffle incident I’m a little scared to throw

UFO Training, Part Two

Thursday, 20 March 2008 6:51 P GMT-05
Last week I posted about retraining myself to finish my UFOs and decided to choose one to finish.  I picked the fall themed round robin I wrote about last month.  If you missed that post about retreat planning, you can read it here.  I

Two Things at Once

Thursday, 6 March 2008 8:48 P GMT-05
I’m working diligently on quilting the tree branch quilt because I want to enter it in a show in late April.  That should give me plenty of time, especially since it’s a wall quilt smaller than a yard of fabric.  Unfortunately,

Pre-retreat

Tuesday, 19 February 2008 7:47 P GMT-05
I’m registered to go to retreat near the end of March.  I’ve already started looking through my UFOs to figure out what I’m taking.  I like making the decision a few weeks ahead of time so I’m not rushing to gather s

Thinking Quilts

I sewed the border on this quilt at retreat last October but never got around to posting a picture.  I designed this quilt in EQ5 years ago (I use EQ6 now).  When the guys were out one night, I took a bunch of strips left from another proje

Home Again

Sunday, 7 October 2007 6:32 P GMT-05
I got back from retreat early this afternoon, and spent the rest of the day putting everything away and getting ready for the coming week.  Everyone had a great time, but with close to record highs, no one sat outside to quilt.    I tr

Off to Retreat

Friday, 5 October 2007 7:16 A GMT-05
I am leaving today for a weekend quilt retreat at a local church camp.  If you have never gone to a quilt retreat, you are missing out on something special.  I can’t begin to describe how much fun these are and how much sewing and qui
