Quilting and Quilt Retreat

 My sewing friends and I decided to get away for a few days to sew at the Passionate Quilters retreat. We ran into a snag when they wanted everyone to make all day, every day at the retreat, so we went to our friend Tammy's home. She kicked her hubby out and we enjoyed 4 days of sewing. I worked on several quilts. 

This is a picture of all of us together. It's been 8 years since we all got to sew together for a weekend. 

I finished the Swoon 16 top. 

I also finished the Harmony top in Nova. My SIL thinks it looks like barb wire, so I'm going to make a quilt for them in these colors. 

I made the Threadology top and planned to give it to my hubby's aunt, but my MIL loved it, so I made it a little wider and she received it for Christmas. 

I finished Mathew's quilt top Marina and quilted it with a blue minkee backing and wide back flannel. 

I made this RWB Jelly Belly quilt for my co-worker Myron who is a veteran. He does so much for me, that I thought he would like it. 

I finished the inside of Frolic and am working on the border. I'm doing it as a leader ender, so it's taking a while. 

I finished the Hey June top. This one doesn't have a home yet, so I'm not sure what color I'm going to use on it. 

I finished the Phoenix top in Little Snippets. I quilted this one with a red minkee backing and I gave it to my MIL for Christmas. 

I finished my Meadowland quilt top and I got it quilted before Christmas. I just need to get it bound. It's for me. 

My dad's wife wanted a baby quilt, so I quilted up this panel and she was able to gift it the next day. 

I quilted a couple of Quilts 4 Kyds quilts.

I quilted a couple of Quilts 4 Kyds quilts.

It was a very successful retreat and quilting day at my dad's house. 

This weeks sewing

This week I have been busy making Meadowland blocks. I signed up for a quilt retreat and decided I want to get a bunch of blocks made so I can make tops. I'm happy with the 9 blocks of Meadowland I finished. I have one block "missing" and I still need to find it. 

I used the Handmade line by Tula Pink for this quilt. 

Last night I finished this scrappy bargello in yellow and blue. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I think I'll give it to a friend for her wedding. 

These are the other Meadowland blocks I made over the weekend. 

Last week I made Swoon blocks in Glamping Gypsies. I have 9 finished and 7 left of my Swoon 16 quilt. 

I finished the top for Good Morning. I hope I can get it quilted next weekend and give it to a co-worker.
