Retreat , Retreat!

 First retreat season after 2 1/2 years 

and I am getting ready to go. 



I found my book, or actually a new book

since the other is MIA. It is just a little notebook to

write down my projects so I don't forget them or what

needs doing! Then, I pulled out my first project!

First up is the zinger and border for the postage stamp red top. 


 

It will have a 2" cut border of blue with a final border

of pairs of red squares. Then it will be on  a pineapple quilt 

using the Creative grids ruler .


 I made one for my DD's (Darling Daughter)

wedding but I would like one for our bed. 

They are so much quicker using the ruler!  

The final one is a two parter. I have two stacks

 of softer granny squares and enough blocks

 to make 2 quilts. 



Each stack will have a same color sashing

 and then a unique border using same color squares.

I did draw out a few sample borders so it should work?


A few more scrap half squares made it into the box too! 

The rainbow scrap string stars is lacking 2 large 

squares so an old work calendar was pressed into service 

for laying out the pieces.  It was something to do during a zoom

meeting.  Hopefully, the pieces stay in place for travel!




My project boxes got a snazzy side label.

Now I can pull out one at a time instead of unpacking 

all of them!


 It looks like I will have 

enough to keep me busy for the weekend!

Stay safe and sew on !
