Picture heavy of retreat fun!

Lots of pictures of Treasured Friends Quilting Bee Retreat, I missed Marilyn's quilt, I'll have to take a picture at our meeting. I was waiting for the border and guess I missed it all together, a cute baby quilt.

"New Update"--So good to be Home, but I've had a blast!!!

Update-" This is an update added to my post, I love the magazine American Patchwork & Quilting by Better Homes and Gardens and needing a fast quilt to be finished within a month and going on vacation it had to be something quick and easy. My new magazine arrived and I saw this one. Grabbed 18 fat quarters off the shelf and adjusted the border and only 3 squares across and 3 down. It really turned out to be a big quilt."

Hi everyone, I've missed all of you and can't wait to catch up on all the excitement out in blog land. We got back from our vacation and then I headed out to a quilt retreat with good friends. I'll post pictures soon of all the sewing that was done. It does a body good to have laughter and sewing all in one place.

The picture at the very top is a quilt I made that had to be finished for this weekend. It is for a raffle for someone very sick and I hope it will bring in funds needed for him and his family.

The pictures below are from our vacation and the retreat I went to. I'll give out all the information in my next post, the ladies that run this one are so nice and talk about good food...

Quick Post and Wall Hanging

Quick Post and Wall Hanging

I have one more day before I head out and still have a long list to get completed. The wall hanging still needs the binding and a tag on the back. I wanted something fun for the girls weekend and friendship fitted in somewhere on it. I haven't done the raw edged applique and just started cutting and putting things together. Maybe I'll make a pattern, but first I should ask if you can tell what it is?

This is the first time for me to go so I'm not sure what we are doing with the wall hangings, but I know it will go on my door. I've got the camera packed so lots of pictures to be taken.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Keep Stitchen,

PS: Is anyone else having trouble moving your pictures after loading them on your post?

Oh, I have got to slow down and post, visit other blogs that I love to visit, sew, cut fabric and get ready for a retreat. I get to bring fabric to sale at the retreat and we leave this coming Thursday. The ladies buy it better if it is ready for them to take in fat quarters, 1/2 yards or 1 yard cuts. Hope to take some pictures of what I'm taking. This is the first retreat I've been on with the guild members and it will be a blast.

The picture is a sneak peek of just part of an item I'm sending to my Christmas in July partner. It is a big tease of a picture.

I know this is a short post, but I'll be back soon. I have to make a wall hanging for the door of my room. We are having a little contest and games that we play to win fat quarters.

Don't forget I'm giving away the apron-and if it turns out real big there might have to be a second prize.

Lots of fun and I wanted to show some new items I'm adding tomorrow to the web-shop. Fabric in what color and some patterns.
