We only sew in days that end in Y

I only sew in days that end in Y.. LOL thank goodness they all end in Y.
Retreat was almost over. It's mixed feelings. You're ready to go home but not really ready to pack up and stop sewing....
Here's the rest of the quilt retreat fun.
One of the games we play is a dice game called Left Right Center. We use Fat Quarters. I had everyone bring 4 fat quarters with a theme of words in Red White and Black to play with. Go Figure... The only game I actually play and I won all the word fat quarters.

 
 I added this one. Saw it at one of the quilt shops before I came home from retreat. I think I have an idea to start using them.

But first I need to do the taxes and finish some baby quilts for some new and older babies.

 Elly snapped a picture of me with my first log cabin blocks.  I've now finished all 24 blocks and have laid out the design I wanted. It's on my design wall waiting to be sewn together. I bought a pre-cut kit from Jordan Fabrics one year at Quilt Festival. Figured it was time to sew it up. This will be a goal this year to finish up some old projects. One down.
And I finally finished my quilt top for my great niece who was born about 9 months ago. The pattern is called Love Notes. See the envelopes. The tutorial is on a Missouri Star Quilt Company youtube.  Okay I'm bad. I couldn't decide which picture of it I liked best sooooo... I'm sharing
3 of them. Sorry.

I really liked the mail box picture. I thought it was appropriate for Love Notes,   I remember using a washing machine like this at my Grandmothers so this was nostalgic.
 This last picture shows  almost the whole quilt off.









Here's the quilt design done by Donna Lynn @ Donna's Lavender Nest.
 
And here's The Material Girls. What a bunch of fun and talented ladies.  I had my round robin quilt with me because I still have to finish the binding so we used it as a drop. Have I mentioned that I love my Round Robin Quilt.  Thanks again to the ladies who added rows to it.

And before we knew it, it was Friday and time to go home.   I had plans to make a couple of stops at some quilts shops between the retreat house and my home.

 And with that in mind I headed out with the retreat in my review mirror.  Until next time.

First stop was at the Quilted Skein in LaGrange. Had to snap a picture of the wall on the side of the Texas Quilt Museum. Everything was flowering but there was a guy in there mowing and I didn't want him in it so I stood to the side.

Made two more stops and final I was home.

Home Sweet Home - The Rock'n K Farm

  



Got to work on taxes now.


Are you tired yet? There was so many more tops finished but I was already overloading you so I had to stop.

Thanks for following along.


Until next blog....Friendship is a tapestry woven through the years with threads of joy and laughter, happiness, and tears.
