Quilt Retreat...

 

I attended Quilt Retreat here in

Oregon last week...

I decided to work on a few gifts

for the holidays...

This sewing machine cover is great FUN!

We did it as a class project, and most

everyone at the quilt retreat participated...

I also continued making ipad zip cases...

Each case has a matching tiny zip case

to hold the charging cord...

The Pellon Fusible Foam helps the zip

case to keep its' shape and is very sturdy...

I used zippers by the yard...

they are so nice to work with and you

can cut exactly the size zipper you need.

The holiday gifts are piling up...

and they are FUN to make !

Farm Panel....Top DONE

 

I peeled this project off the

design wall in the Thread Shed...

and took it with me to 

Quilt Retreat last week...

I stitched all of the quilt blocks

together into borders...

I added the wagon wheel border treatment...

This Barn Panel quilt top is

ready to be sandwiched and quilted !

Looking forward to seeing this one hung

in our living room.

Oregon Quilt Retreat...

I have returned to Oregon from 

the Idaho Retreat

I attended last week...

I put the Reflected Harmony quilt top,

I have in progress, up on the design wall...

I completed the central part of the quilt top

in Idaho last week...

Now that I am back in Oregon,

I will cut up these border fabrics

and stitch them onto the quilt top...

I am attending a quilt retreat here

in Oregon this week:

I have 4 borders added at this point...

The Flying Geese Border is the 4th border...

Adding the 5th border...

This was a wonderful Quilt Retreat!

It is time to pack up all of our gear...

Three Quilters can really stuff a car full...

Stuffed side to side...

Hard to believe Larissa had room to sit

in this back seat...

This was my view from the front seat...

jammed and crammed full !

Here we are in Northern Idaho...

All of our gear and three Quilters fit in that car !

After a weekend visit,

we are heading back to Western Oregon.
