Idaho Quilting Retreat...

Time for a road trip...

After a 10 hour drive we arrived in Idaho

I am at the Bossom Buddies Quilt Retreat

This is my home away from home

for the next week

I plan to piece my Double Wedding Ring Quilt

into rows...

I brought along my Vintage Singer 185K

so she could stretch her legs for a few days!

I spent several hours getting my rings up on the 

design wall...

I am ready to begin piecing this into a quilt top

Enough rings leftover for a runner...

This is the hallway leading to the bedrooms.

At the end of the hall is the large work space

where we will be sewing.

My first row is coming together nicely...

I am so happy I made the trip to Idaho...

I made lots of wonderful memories!
