Double Wedding Ring Quilt Top.......DONE!




16 years ago I took a class...



Piecing the Double Wedding Ring Quilt...






I pieced it on my Featherweight 221...






In Yellowstone Park  in the camp trailer,

I pieced it on my Singer 301...






At an Idaho retreat,

I pieced it on my Singer 185K



Last week while at a retreat here in Oregon...


I pieced it on my Bernina...






The retreat was a week long...





I stuck right with the piecing...




16 years and 3,075 pieces later....it is DONE!


I worked on this quilt in...

Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Wyoming.




My dearest quilting kindred spirit, Linda,

worked along side of me and made her own quilt too!

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...

We jumped out of bed each morning and went right to our

sewing machines...  still in our jammies!

Yes, that is snow falling behind us through the window.

that belongs to the camp host.

How FUN are these?

By the end of the retreat I completed 6 rows

on the Double Wedding Ring Quilt top






We all had lots of FUN....






Ate lots of yummy food...






and sewed lots of stitches!






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

I made lots of wonderful memories!
