Retreat Week Part 2

Carrie shared her beautiful antique sampler with us! WOW!

Christy was the over achiever of the group! I love it!

I got all my blocks appliqued!

And my tree top together. There wasn't a good place to trim it and measure for the small border I am going to add. Maybe this week I'll get to it!! Shouldn't take much time at all.

I tried several reds and this one seemed the best. 

The gangs all here! All of us had/have big events- Christy just became another great grandmother, this time of TWIN girls! Michelle is in the hospital today recovering from back surgery and Carrie and I are prepping to leave for Guatemala on Saturday! Was a good time to be together to encourage each other. 

Love ya!

 

Retreat Week Recap

Three of us were able to start our retreat last week!

Christy's Chilowi (Quiltville mystery) was first up on her to-do list.

Carrie left her machine foot pedal so she was working on some visible/boho patchwork for her granddaughter.

I wanted to get my machine applique completed on the Bible Quilt so I got to that right away. 

Carrie resurrected her Lone Cabin quilt top! Love this so much!  We picked up her foot pedal on Saturday. 

Here is a link to my finished quilt HERE. I have a the book in my Etsy shop HERE if you are interested. 

I heard about a stash sale so we made it there early Saturday. 

A stop at the quilt shop was next! Here is The Quilt Basket in Bend. Not overly friendly. 

Anvil Sewing in Bend. A lot of machines- friendly staff.

More to come!

And just in case we need a reminder. 

 

Fun On A Friday

Here's a brief recap of my week!

Look at this precious gift my daughter brought home for me from Japan! The little "kit" measures 2 1/4"x1 1/4"! it is tiny! She loved  Japan!! 

 

I'm going to get this on my pack today! 

I made a trip into Portland to help Rene with some paperwork and this was my early morning view of Mt Hood!

Out on a walk and I see that this guy made it through another hunting season! What a rack!

We've had amazing sunrises and sunsets this week!! 

And I'm continuing to prepare for Guatemala!

But first I'm heading to quilt retreat today!! 

Have a fantastic weekend my friends

Tumbling Blocks Quilt Top

I wanted to share this lovely tumbling blocks quilt top! The pieces are quite large but I love that you get a good look at the fabrics!! 

 

mmmm, any thoughts what this would be?

My favorite is the newsie! Anybody see that musical movie? It was a favorite of ours when the kids were growing up! They even went out at Halloween once as newsies!

The colors are vibrant and it is expertly hand stitched! I think I found the perfect home for it!!

Let's have an amazing week!
