National Quilting Day ~ March 19, 2011

For National Quilting day, I took a picture of my new puppy wrapped up in her quilt.. She sure loves her quilt..
Then planned on quilting, until I remember the guild's newsletter..

I never did get to real quilting until the NEXT day.. Funny how some things worked out, but I was able to still work on items that had to do with quilting on that day.. :)

Guild BOTM for April & May 2011 Drawing

In honor of our Quilt Show coming up in July.. I have Done two sets for April and May's drawing..

For April.....


For May....


These are all 12" blocks..

Guild BOTM for the March 2011 Drawing

For the March block of the month drawing, I have a Bumble Bee, and a Magnolia bud..

Things that I did at the Quilter's Retreat...

The first thing that I made was a Thread Catcher. Since I forgot mine at home!
But, it was a project I wanted to finish while I was there anyway. It just ended up being first...

The pattern it was made from was this:

Then, I moved on to my Lassie Wittman No Topple Tote Bag

This is one fabulous bag!!

The next day, I was able to assemble my presentation blocks that I received back.

There is one thing I learned from this.. Everyone has their own quarter inch.. :)

Then there was the victorian needle case I was doing, until.. that one horrible moment, that I messed it all up. Maryann had me put it in a bag, and she labeled it.. "Crap in a bag!" LOL


I am totally looking forward to it next year.. :)

Here was my workspace.

and here was my view..

The food was wonderful.. and the people were fabulous!!!

Wow...

I just noticed, I haven't posted a blog since I have been back from the quilting retreat with the great people from our guild... A great time was had by all.. :)

Pictures!! :)
