Do you remember this quilt from this post? Yes, you get to see my darling grands again but scroll down to the bottom. There's the same quilt without borders. Thanks go to Janice H. for suggesting the smaller pink border. Sharon took the quilt home with her and happened to read the comments before picking out the borders. She loved the idea and followed through with it. Janice was definitely right about this one! I've got it to quilt it and then on it will go to Project Linus. These blocks were won at a retreat lottery several years back.
Sharon started working on these hot chilies near the end of the retreat. She laid them out on two different backgrounds to decide which she liked better the black or the red. She and I both said the black as soon as we saw them together but I'm not sure I don't like the red better. Glad it isn't my decision to make!
MaryBeth was tickled to get this top finished -- unless she decides to put borders on it. |
Sharon started and finished this cute Fourth of July wall hanging. Directions were in one of Quiltmaker's magazines this year. (Maybe the May June issue?) |
Michele made a tuffet for her grandmother. |
Bea put this together. I'm not sure if it was a kit or not but I do know she started it at retreat and got it this far along. I think some borders come next. |
Dorothy was working on log cabin circles. Don't you love her t-shirt? There were a lot of different quilty shirts to enjoy at retreat. |
That's the end of pictures that I took at retreat. There were a lot more projects being worked on but I just wasn't fast enough to snap pictures.
I'll be linking up with Needle and Thread Thursday and Can I Have a Whoop, Whoop? (This isn't posted yet so I'll check back tomorrow to update it.) Take some time to visit blogs and get some great inspiration!
Small rant -- Why does Blogger make it so hard to work with pictures?!!? I had planned to show these pictures in a different order but as I started at the top I realized I could no longer move any pictures up or down. Grumble, grumble. In the end it probably doesn't make any difference at all but really, I wish it worked better. I probably should look at Word Press one of these days. I know there are a lot more things I could control with it.... Sigh.
Happy Quilting All! Bonnie
Looks like it was a productive retreat for everyone. Some very pretty projects in progress. I really like those chili blocks. I'd have gone for the black too.
ReplyDeleteThe pink frame is perfect for Sharon's quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove all the projects the gals at the retreat created. Bea's quilt is especially striking.
