| My UFO Trip Around the World. It started the weekend as 4 quadrants with different amount of rows. I got the rows evened up, added additional rows to make it a rectangle and sewed it altogether. I was checking the border at this point. I decided to wait to add the border until I got home to make sure I had enough border to cover the mattress. This has been in the works for over 6 years. |
 |
| Nancy was making this cool top. I loved how the colors worked togeher. She got to the borders but I didn't get a picture of it. |
 |
| Kathleen was putting these units together. I love all the polka dots. She must have been collecting these for years! |
 |
| Sharon taught the group how to make the pinwheel block. Everyone did great except for Paula who was creative in her joining of the block. But Sharon made a couple to match and used the different style block as a design unit. I think I'd like to make a baby quilt with the alternate design and see what it looks like. |
 |
| Another cool top. This might be Paula's but I'm only guessing based on the green shirt on the gal on the right. |
That's it for today about the retreat -- more later this week.
I did pretty well on goals from two weeks ago . Didn't have any from last week except to start cleaning off the cutting table. I did get a good start on that but the front side is already covered up with a new little project.

I guess you could call your TATW "a slow boat to China" if it's taken you six years. Congratulations on your courage in unearthing it (to mix a metaphor) and getting it that much closer to completion.
