My bags are packed! I'm so excited....I'm going away for a week long quilt retreat with 7 of my friends. We are heading north to Idaho and the Teton Mountain range.We all went last year and had such a blast, we booked for this year before we even left last years retreat!
It's called the Teton Patchworks. I recommend it highly...check it out here.
Do you remember the blocks that I showed you a long time ago? (top photo) I'm hoping to have time there to work on this quilt............
.... and this quilt that I have been working on for a while every time that I get a few spare minutes at my machine.....a snowball quilt made with 30's charm squares that I have swapped over the past 3 years with my Clothesline Club members & Yo Yo Mama's.
I have several hundred charm squares so I think I'm safe to assume that I'll have enough!
I have a quilt cut ready to piece for my family room....8"- 60 degree triangles...I'm just putting them together with an ecclectic mix of fabric from my stash.
I've also cut for a fall quilt using a layer cake and 3 yards brown polka dot for a background....
All my projects are in thier containers & ready to go...my goal is to have them out of the containers and made into quilt tops by the time I get home! Of course I will show them to you when I get back....but in the meantime, It's time to celebrate my 100 post with a pattern giveaway....
There will be 3 winners and I will be sending each winner a copy of my "Thanksgiving Dinner" and my "Scarecrow" pattern....just in time for some Fall stitchin!
