Quilting Retreat - Day 1

Today we left bright and early for the retreat. We arrived at about 11:30 and my partner and I made lunch and we started sewing. Eight women, lots of tables, machines, cutting mats and irons - in other words, HEAVEN!

There are folks working on table runners, placemats, wall hangings, quilts, and other UFOs. I have started my skittles squared quilt and I'm aiming to have all the blocks sewn together, ready to cut apart and mix up, starting tomorrow.

Best part - it's someone's birthday so there was cake!

Gotta run, folks are making progress without me!
