Oh, retreat was good to me!
Lots of stroller tops are done up so I can get quilting this week.
The mini vacation for me is coming up,
so I'd like to have them quilted and ready for binding
before I head off to the woods.
Here's a little show of what was finished last weekend.
Found pale blue 5" squares paired with I Spy blocks,
and this little stroller quilt was the result.
Cute as a bug and fun to look at.
Next up was a visit to New York to see the
Rockettes march across the stage!
Just a few misplacements and
the garlic knot quilt top was complete.
It's just spicy enough to be fun and should be great to quilt .
The salmon were sewn up quite nicely
although one setting block did get lost in transportation.
As luck would have it,
a perfectly good triangle was found in a scrap bag
given by a friend. Spring spawning was saved!
Just look at those happy pigs in the corners!
You did have a very productive retreat. Lots of fun projects in the works.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to do a very focus sewing weekend!
DeleteYou really did have a great retreat, Deb and got so much accomplished. Fun projects. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome. I think I really just like to cross them off my list! I really enjoy that too! Turning in a good pile of baby/stroller quilts is rewarding too!
DeleteWow, so much accomplished! Great work here.
ReplyDeleteThank you !!! It is a great way to spend retirement, stitching and giving!
DeleteWow, I'm impressed, so many little quilt tops done. Retreats are great.
ReplyDeleteRetreats are the bet aren't they! Someone posted there should be sewing vactions, retreat are already doing that! Have a great week!
DeleteOh, the retreat was good to you indeed! You did a great job with all these pretty and fun projects. Love the flip flap prints on the first quilt top, and all the prints are fun on the I-spy project! I'm glad that all the salmons were safe ;) Thank you for sharing your productive week and linking up.
ReplyDeleteI know , those flip flops on fabric were a great find! Have a great week!
DeleteI just sorted through all the fabrics I had left over from 3 I-Spy quilts. You have given me some great ideas for future quilts. I love all that you have done.
ReplyDeleteThere is always something left over!!! Why is that, do we overbuy? Mysteries still remain!?!
DeleteHonestly, I don't know how you keep track of all your different projects. Amazing what you get accomplished from week to week. Yes, do have best the I Spy fabric. Enjoy the woods.
ReplyDeleteI have a book I take to retreat and I do use the blog as a good tool to summarize works in progress. I love to cross things off lists!! Happy stitching!
DeleteWhat fun tops!! they are so happy - and!! the Rockettes!! nice!

I enjoy going on retreats too. You got a lot done during yours. Did you make kits of what you worked on or ? I enjoy the social time as much as the quilting so I tend to bring very easy, pre cut kits. Either that or there is a lot of ripping going on!
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, it sounds like you had a fun and productive retreat. I'm looking forward to seeing your quilted stroller quilts! Thanks for linking up to I Quilted This!
