Getting away from home is a great way to reset yourself. I love sharing with friends: creative ideas, talking about anything, and lots of laughter! We tried a new retreat center in Janesville. The accommodations were nice. My only issue was the temperature which was warm near the 4 season room heater, but much cooler elsewhere. I think I can blame it on the weather which was at 0 degrees or lower. Some of the roads were still covered with ice.
Anyway, so much fun: My contribution was a baked potato bar which went over well. And I even brought home leftovers.
So here are the fabulous tops that have been awaiting my focus:
1) My Tilda quilt 17 different prints. The pattern is Everlasting by Coriander Quilts. Finished size 74 by 92. Started last November I intend to add the light tan on the 2 side borders to fit my bed
2) Mini log cabin kit Blocks 4 1/2 inches each, 100 blocks total: about 45 inches. Started in October of this year. This was a precut kit!
3) Lastly my sampler quilt made from Kansas Trouble fabrics. ( Of which I have an abundance) The Sampler blocks are 8 inches. I made the setting from a picture in a Sharon Craig book. Used the book Celebrate with Quilts by Lissa Alexander and Susan Ache for most of the Sampler blocks
No Christmas projects this year.
Those tops are all gorgeous, but I have to say that Tilda one really caught my eye. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDidnt you do well completing those lovely tops. Love the log cabin, but such tiny blocks, I don't think I could stitch those tiny logs.
ReplyDeletelove the quilts - glad you had fun
ReplyDeleteI go on two retreats a year and really love them. It looks like you got a lot accomplished. I laughed when I read that the 4.5" log cabins were a pre-cut kit. That's about the only way I would make something like that! Congrats on your finishes.
ReplyDeleteThe tops are fabulous. Sounds like you had a nice get away. Potato bar is a great idea.
