I spent last weekend at my semi-annual quilt retreat. I didn't manage to get anything finished, but I did manage to make some progress on the projects I took with me.
The closest thing to a finish was this bag.
It still needs grommets to hold the straps.
I figured out how to put in a magnet snap, and I think it looks pretty good!

Some of the other ladies did some wonderful work.
Diane's Hunter's Star progressed nicely.
Margery won these blocks in a BOM draw, and made a top out of them.
Kelda made a stunning top from a jelly roll.
Anita finished TWO tops!
Two baby quilts by Kathryn.
Audrey made a Snail's Trails quilt top. She had enough blocks left over to make a second top, because she was so keen at making the snails.
Looking at the pictures, I feel like a bit of a slacker.
We all had a great time, with lots of laughter and a rousing game of "strip poker".

Kate, I'm sure it isn't meant to be a huge race to get lots done, but time to reflect, take those lovely photos, share with other quilters, maybe make new friends, discuss patterns and fabric, and enjoy, even a strip or two!! Cheers, Jean.
ReplyDeleteMy blocks were mostly done and I was just sewing them all together. No way could I do this in one weekend.. lol
ReplyDeletei do love the fabrics in your bag. They compliment each other so well. Looks like every one had a fun time and that's what really counts. The 'strip ' poker sounds like fun....
ReplyDeleteNow that it's time for another Needlework Tuesday, I'm just getting around to visiting last week's entries. I love your bag. The colors are so pretty and the pockets make it practical. I hate digging in my bag to find things!
