Retreat planning is going very well. I think we are all taking enough sewing to last a couple of weeks, never mind 4 days. Still, it is much better to run out of stitching time than to run out of projects to play with isn't it.
Gail had done enough quilting on her dinosaur quilt to keep it all stable enough to trim the 'crusts' off and attach her double sided binding, a very impressive binding method, I must say. Once the binding is on, Gail will continue stitching more quilting, probably during the retreat.
This is a lesson for us all. If someone asks you to make two quilts (which can be a wonderful feeling) don't ask them what colour and what design they would like! Pam is so very bored of black and white squares and can't wait to get back to her beautiful and colourful quilt making. Both quilt tops are ready to be sandwiched now so she'll be looking at black and white squares for a bit longer while she quilts them.
Christabelle is making great progress with her beautiful Tilda Chambray fabrics. She has a lot of very small pieces of other fabrics, some Tilda, that are proving to be perfect for the little hearts. More stitching will be done on this during the retreat, no doubt.
Princess Jackie wanted to make a new cushion for chair comfort on the retreat and blimey is this fabric gorgeous. We thought Jackie had purchased the last Fat Quarter but I found a bit more of it. If you look closely you will see she had fun quilting it too.
A perfectly co-ordinating cushion back complete
with a perfectly co-ordinating, covered zip flap. Very smart!
It even co-ordinates with the red Lotus Chair that Jackie will be taking on the retreat!
