Another retreat

 I had the delightful opportunity to go on another quilting retreat.  This one is in rural Wisconsin southwest of Madison, our capitol. I love this one where you can see the sunset over the fields and farms. And the weather was warm, which I had not quite anticipated.  And the air conditioner was turned on when only in the 70s.  Oh well.

But the food, the comradery, the shared ideas, and the hours of quilting.  So great to get things moving on projects. We had trivia and campfire songs, and lots of fun together. And I forgot the good food, although my stomach was revolting at the time.

Anyway, here are some of their projects:

This was an exchange project. Many of the knick knacks are personal and titles on books , family photos, etc. Very cool! Love the arched center.

A found set of blocks from a free table 

Fat cat designs of a Southern Gentlemen from last fall.

Things I worked on:

Quilted my small flag quilt to send to Mom for her door. 

It was a free pattern from Buttermilk Basin without the applique, a UFO from the past.

The binding was handsewn once I got home.

Another flag banner which had been left as a top last year.

Also hand sewn binding at home.

This is Bonnie Hunter's Bitcoin pattern with large strips of color in between.  

It was a UFO from 2021:     link for the  bitcoin start

I ran out of the pieced parts and will had 2 more strips: 

one pieced and one solid making a twin quilt.

These blocks were comprised of the hourglass blocks leftover from another wall hanging. 

Blocks were made over a year ago.

I left the back of odd blocks at home. 

So it will end up longer.
