...what a weekend.
I spent the last three days at a quilt retreat at beautiful lake Texoma's Tanglewood Resort. Wow. I think I would love to live there if I could figure out how to pay the bills that far from the city.
I got three quilts tackled...two of them need borders...which will require some shopping (oh darn). Wanna see? These are the pictures I took while at retreat - the color quality is pretty terrible...you don't mind do you..

This was my first project. It measures 54 x 64 and is made from 42, 9 1/2" squares of muslin with selvedge edges layered on top like shingles. I love the way it looks, but think it a border so plan to make it a bit bigger as soon as I can go shopping and then get back to the project.
Project # 2 - I finished the top from Heather Spence's Fall Mystery Quilt. Yeah! I love these happy fabrics. It is now on it's way to the quilter. (That would be me...lol...but I am kind of busy so it may be a little while before this gets the big Ta-done!)
Project #3 - Garden Steps by Clover & Violet, August 2012. Yeah! I have all of my blocks finished and put together, but think it needs a nice dark border to finish it well. Darn - another reason to go shopping!
The last thing I worked on was a mini - or blocks for one. It is going to have 9 crazy hats on it! Gotta say I am loving this project.
Today, while I am digging out from underneath all that was done and not done over the weekend, I am waiting for a special express package to get here from Moda. I've been asked to help with with a project. I have mixed emotions about it...but I think it is going to be fun. You will have to wait to see it though - I can tell you that it has something to do with Julie Comstock and American Patchwork Quilting.
