Retreat tops: all 3!

 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.
