I returned Sunday from the Jane Stickle Quilt Retreat held at the Farmstead Inn in Shipshewana, Indiana. Normally when I post about the retreat, I show you everything I've worked on. I'm not that organized this year. The suitcases are put away but the projects are not unpacked yet.
I can show you this large churn dash crib quilt I pieced. The fabrics have traveled to several retreats but were never sewn. It measures approximately 48" x 54". I didn't have a pattern, just figured it out on my own. Easy, Peasy!
At the January 2018 guild meeting, I'm demonstrating spiral quilting. This is such an easy technique, hey if I can do it, so can others. Anyway, I decided I needed to get a crib quilt pieced and ready to go. Now I just need to get the layers together and I'll be ready to quilt!
I'm attaching a link to Rosemary's blog. She always makes a lovely smile box of Show & Tell at the retreat. Enjoy the show!

Hi Gretchen,
ReplyDeleteYour churn dash block pulled me right in - I had to see what's up! I love spiral quilting. I am sure you will have many converts after your demonstration. I'll check out Rosemary's link to see her retreat update. Shipshewana isn't too far away for me . . . I will have to check out the retreat schedule. ~smile~ Roseanne

Oh, I love the Farmhouse Inn! I was there one year at Dear Jane time. Couldn't believe people had made 3,4 or more of them! I like your churn dash crib quilt. claire aka knitnkwilt
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love seeing your creativity flow through your quilts, Gretchen! The churn dash crib quilt looks amazing, and I’m sure the spiral quilting technique you’re going to demonstrate will be a hit. If anyone is looking for some fun and exciting ways to unwind after a long day of quilting, I recommend checking out casino aphrodite for some entertainment. Quilting and a little gaming can really make for a perfect combination of relaxation and creativity. Keep sharing your beautiful projects; they truly inspire us all!
