So every year a small quilt group I have belonged to for a very long time, has a quilt retreat!! This is something I look forward to every year. Last year, I had to miss it, which makes this year even more special!!!
I mean who wouldn’t want to sit and sew for 3-4 days straight and have someone cook all of their meals for them and other than that, have no other responsibilities?!?!
Sewing, socializing with friends and eating…….not much better than that!!!
So Friday I am off with a car packed way too full of way too many projects!! But we have to have choices, right?!?!? Who knows what I will want to work on while I am there.
I am going to try my hand at some improvisational piecing, so that should be fun too!!! I kind of like the idea of no pattern and just winging it. Let’s see how that really turns out though!! I have to admit, that it scares me to even try this, as I am a rule follower and pattern follower…LOL!!!
I will be posting pics on Instagram throughout the weekend, so be sure to follow along my weekend with me!! I may even do some free motion quilting on my domestic machine while I am there!!
Here are a couple of quilts that I have been working on recently. I thought you might enjoy a few pics of them.
Well, I hope that you are all able to get some sewing done this weekend!! I know I won’t get as many projects done as I am bringing with me, but you can be assured that I will enjoy trying!!!
Happy Quilting!!!
We will have a blast! So happy you can come this year. I am anxious to see your improv!
