Retreat Season

Retreat season is upon us. 

Just like hunting season or ski season, 

we pack up our bags, 

all our equipment and off we go.

 

 I'm gearing up for the 3rd and last retreat of 

this spring retreat season.

I still  have projects that I can take.

Obviously, I'm either well prepared or 

I just have too many projects.

So let's see what's in the works for the next retreat.

I've got quite a few more rainbow scrap 

blocks to  put together for the 

next strip quilt. 

It is still lacking the remaining colors.

The bags of strips and scraps are ready to go

except for the red .

 I am going to harvest some chunks

and root thru the scrap drawer 

to make a goodly bag for the red squares. 

This is some of my chunk storage. 

Lots of red in this one.

I hope to have a number of baby quilts 

ready to bind,

and a few more I Spy quilts ready to stitch together.

Surprisingly, there are still lots of interesting 

fabrics in my stash, so I had another bit of fun

cutting out more I Spy blocks. 

Remember all those big ziploc plastic bags

I was gifted?  They are perfect for retreat projects and 

making up kits to take.  They are more space efficent 

and keep me a bit more organized!

These will certainly certainly keep me busy

 for another weekend in the country.

Two of last week's stoller quilts are

still waiting, so they will go back into the mix. 

The last retreat was at a lovely hotel 

within the city but the next is out in the country 

so it will feature a few walks

 through the woods 

in springtime.

Right now I'm going to pop outside

 enjoy some 18 C/ 64 F weather.

Stay Safe and Sew on!
