Last week Mom and I had a wonderful time at the Quilty Friends Retreat!! We got to enjoy a week of friends, food, and lots and lots of sewing!! We got to take a class, teach two classes, and then spend every minute in-between sewing besides the hotel pool while laughing about taking over the hotel! It is always such a good time.
I started off the week with a little sample sewing that I can't share yet. Then the next morning Mom and I took the Magnolia class. This was such a fun block to make and went together so fast!! In fact, It went together so fast, I spent the afternoon and evening after class finishing up the entire quilt top. I am making this for another SUU quilt, hence the red, white, and black ;)
The next morning I taught my Daisy Chain class. And the class was amazing, almost everyone finished a block with is huge for all of those curves!! After class, I started working on my class quilt from last year's retreat. This is of course, another SUU quilt, but unlike the one above, I did not even come close to finishing it at last years retreat. And it has sat in it's little travel box all year. So I was determined to get this one done!!! Inset circles are not joke, but it was totally worth the extra pinning. I just love how it came together and am so excited to get this one quilted!!
The next morning was another class and this time it was Sweater Weather. And I have to say, It was so fun to see all of the different fabric variations that people were doing their quits in. That really is one of my favorite parts of teaching. After class, It was time to pull out another older WIP. You might recall the Flower Child Boxed Kits that I was able to design back here . . . well, I actually made enough curves, hst's, and flying geese for 2 quilts, but just used the pieces for one quilt and 4 blocks for photography. So again, I have had all of these units sitting around just waiting to be turned into two baby quilts. And since I was totally on a roll, I kept it going with two more quilt tops!! So ya, I took a class, taught 2 classes, and finished 5 quilt tops while at the retreat!!! It was one super awesome retreat!!
And I wasn't the only one getting a lot done. I was so happy to come home and find that all of the cabinets had been installed in my new sewing studio!!! Look at all of that amazing storage. It is just going to be so incredible to sew in here when it is all done. We are about 1-2 wees out . . . I can't wait to share it all when it is full of all my fabric and quilty goodness!! If you live near Cedar City and ever need a remodel, I highly recommend Precision Development!!
