Hi all!!!
I went to a retreat this past weekend, and "got heck" (LOL) for not
blogging much, so, as promised to you SS, here is a post....
Went to the annual Carberry Retreat. I think this was my 6th or 7th
year attending. Always a good time!!! Thanks SS!! ;)
Still having "issues" with my camera and photo program, so not all the "Sew & Tell"
photos taken at this retreat turned out, and thus I will only post some of them...
A 4-Patch Posy...
LBs Dragon WIP..
Friend LSs Shadows WIP...
LSs quilt top that she's donated now...
D9-P
Fall Sampler of sorts...
Neat pattern...
SSs Finish...
Wonderful fabrics...
Sampler...
Scrap happy here...
And finally mine..."Birthday Purples"
The colors are not true on the photo, and the purples in the outer border aren't showing
much at all... This is the "Hop Scotch" pattern... I used about 32 Purple FQs that I
received for my birthday from all my gals... I just kept making blocks till the
fabric was gone, and ended up with a 99"x111" quilt top...
Here is a close-up of the boarder/fabric...
I also worked on my pieced border that I am "winging it" for my Picket Fences PhD,
but it wasn't going very well, so it is not ready to show.... I have some "picking" I
need to do to fix a wobble problem.... :(
I also had big plans to sandwich and quilt the 2 baby quilts for my expected twin grand-boys, but time got away from me... Going on holidays with my cousins, with sewing machine and projects, so maybe I'll get them done soon... The guys will golf while the gals sew... ;)

Here is Mr Snookums and Dora. Made his way to Gamma's sewing room... ;)
TJ and his parents are staying with us for a couple of months due to a job change, but will be back home and working out their way when boss-man and family makes their way out there too...
DD1, pregnant with the twins is doing fine, but very uncomfortable already.
Babies due in early June... Will visit with them on the way home from holidays with cousins...
For all you wonderful bloggers that have been "checking in" on me, all is well,
just busy and not much time for blogging/visiting right now...
Never a dull moment...
Take care!
Happy stitching!
Myra
