Oh brother, now that I'm back from retreat at a real computer, I see how horrible my last photo of my basket blocks was, taken on my cell phone and posted from my Blackberry. I promise better pictures as soon as I am unpacked and settled in at home.
It was one of the best retreats ever! We shared a work table with Mary Hickey and Judy Pollard and had the best time hearing their stories about quilts and life. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much.
I finished 15 of the 16 basket blocks for my November Schnibbles quilt, Picnic. I left the rest of my charm squares AND my pattern instructions at home, or it may have gotten finished this weekend (sigh).
I finished my Rouenneries layer cake quilt and can't wait to get the borders on so I can show you. What a beautiful and simple quilt to make!
Can't wait to see it all...I know the Picnic blocks are going to be gorgeous...and can't wait to see what pattern you used with the French General layer cake (easier to spell French General than Rou....)!
ReplyDeleteYou sound so happy and excited so I'm feeling happy and excited. You're really tempting me with the FG, too!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Home! I'm sure you're busy getting caught up at home and at work. Am eager to see more pictures. It sounds like you made the most of your retreat, I'm so happy for you!!
ReplyDeleteI thought the baskets looked good. I can't wait to see your quilt so hurry up and get 'er done! Nancy in WI
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to hear all about the retreat! So glad it was such a great success.
ReplyDeleteAt least you know how to post photos from your cell phone. I wouldn't know where to start. When I worked for Oxmoor House, I edited a book that we published with Mary Hickey, Big Book of Small Quilts, I think was the title.
ReplyDeleteyour quilt came out beautiful, I love the aqua in there. 7 years to finish a quilt , I agree that one needs to be quilted and used!
ReplyDeleteIts amazing. oh now choosing another one good luck!
