As mentioned a couple posts back, we were doing an "I Spy" exchange at this retreat. Six of us taking part, and agreed we should have a due date as to when the quilt tops were due to be shown, but for some reason a date was not agreed on...yet!
I'm recalling that they should be done by the end of this year.
"I Spy" pattern is up to the individual.
These blocks were done by friend LS. Toonie-Tuesday packages she collected from a local quilt shop a while back... She/we are quite proud of her success with her points, to the point she is saying, that maybe she is ready for a Bonnie Hunter Mystery.
I said, that if she does, I will join her. Been wanting to do a Bonnie Hunter
for a while now, but I just haven't jumped in yet.
DW brought a quilt to show us that her sister had made while wintering down south.
Lovely! I believe is was all Batiks.
A few posts back I showed you a new book that I purchased with this pattern in it. I never should have brought the book to share with my gals "yet", as now I wasn't the first of my group to do this pattern. The "Disappearing Churn-dash". DL, who is very quick at whipping up a quilt-top, decided fabrics she brought to the retreat would work great with this pattern, so proceeded to whip up the blocks... Love the print background.
So now, my accomplishments from the weekend...
A pillowcase for our GS#4.
A Quilt-as-you-go quilt (like YN's done here) for GD#1.
All it needs now is a few Yo-Yos, and the binding...
Much needed receiving blankets for our grand-daughter. It is ok to have her wrapped in the boy's blankets at home, but not when out visiting or in public!! ;)
I sewed some more 25-patch blocks, pieced some rows, and combined them, just to see how it was going to look. Much more to be done to finish this quilt top up...
Pattern - Quick Quilts - March 2010 - Raspberry Cheesecake, I posted about it here too...
And now, a photo of DGS#1, with his very first catch, on his very first "gone fishing with Daddy" trip. A very small catfish in his hand.
"It was really wiggly Grammy, and then a put it back in the water."
Wonky Bits on Thursday. I may have some more show and tell photos from that gathering...
Happy Stitching!
Myra
