I've been concentrating on finishing UFQ's this fall. So what am I doing now? I'm prepping! The Jane Stickle quilt retreat is later this month and I'm planning on starting several new projects.
I'm not going to tell you the name of the projects, just give you some hints. You can see later if you guessed right.
None of these projects are huge like the queen or king sized quilts I sometimes piece at retreat.
I'm also taking cut off triangles to add blocks to my nameless quilt. This quilt will never be finished, as long as I keep piecing quilts, I'll keep on having cut off triangles!
Of course Hearts & Wreaths is coming along for handwork.

Yes, the last retreat was November 2019! I'm so excited but I don't know how much sewing I'll get done. I'm really looking forward to chatting with my out of state friends.
Deletenice for you to go to your retreat that you like so much - have fun
ReplyDeleteLove those new fabrics for the surprise quilt and very glad for you to be able to go to a retreat. I know you have missed them.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern in the Quiltmania magazine is a fun quilt to make and provides a lot of practice. It was originally in a book by Diane Phalen called Spring Heart Wreath Quilt that had the wreaths and hearts blocks I purchased it in early 2000. I made it with pastels and gifted it to my cousin. I thought about taking another one in 2022, but there are just so many choices to chose from. It is not a difficult project. I do love the border.
I want an out of town retreat. I love the in town ones, but loved ones think they can still call me when they can't find a ride to the store or to work.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric piles - how fun to take to a retreat. I have a basket similar to yours stuffed with fabric! I took a peek at your nameless quilt and love it! You'd be sad to know how many triangles I've thrown out.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to To Do Tuesday!
Ooh, these fabric piles look like so much fun! Have fun on your retreat, Gretchen — I’ll look forward to seeing what you have envisioned to make from these assortments!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at retreat! The key is to be organized and you sure are. Love your fabric pulls and can't wait to see what you make of them. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
