Last weekend my cousin and I went on another retreat. Guess what... I've been to so many retreats , but I still enjoy them. It's an unbeatable way to get a lot done and have FUN at the same time. This one was a guild retreat, and Cousin got to come along to fill an empty slot. Fun!
I took along five sandwiched quilts that needed to be quilted and bound. I finished these four. They are all for giveaways, and I wanted to get them DONE. It felt very good to do so. The fifth one is a quilt I will keep. I set it aside to work on other stuff, knowing I will get it done here at home (soon, I hope).
Cousin didn't have a nametag, so I made her one.
I also made a block for a woman who has cancer and for whom we are making a quilt.
Cousin needed an extra quilt at night, so I let her use this one. I had brought it along to put a hanging sleeve on it. It's a quilt I gave to my sister for Christmas. Then I retrieved it to hang in our show which starts next week. I needed to do some last-minute hanging sleeves on several quilts. Cousin was warm and cozy with this extra quilt at night.
The second picture above is Cousin working on a quilt made of Kaffe Fassett fabrics.
The next pictures are quilts that were being worked on by various others at the retreat. Beautiful, n'est-ce pas??
The last one is my words quilt! I am so excited to be making progress on this and actually starting to put it together! It has been in the works for four years. I hope to finish it soon.
