Quilt Tops finished!

I was able to get the tree top trimmed and the small border attached. I'm pretty happy with it and I hope the quilting goes well! I'll get the backing made soon.

The Bible quilt top is complete too! I plan on quilting this one myself- very simply since it is applique and wool. 

I'm thrilled with both tops! 

Happy February!

 

Retreat Finale

One final post!

Michelle was working on a baby quilt designed by Cheri. We all loved it and I'm sure baby and momma will too!

 

I made a bit of progress on my Liberty 250 quilt. I shrunk it from 12" to 10" And between my math and sewing, the blocks will now finish at 9.5"!

This flannel panel needs a good press! We all agreed there was no reason to cut up the panel as it was so darling. This is a charity quilt for my guild.

And Carrie made progress on her Lone Cabin quilt border. It needs one more border for the top to be completed. 

This is Christy's center of the Peppermint Twist of Jo's. She was having a hard time getting everything to fit, so we helped! It is so charming!

Carrie and I have 4 bags we are bringing to Guatemala! Thank you to all who donated!

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.
