Quilt Retreat or Bust!

My amazing hubby is checking the fluids in the car and hauling out my anvil sewing machine, and then I’m hitting the road for a weekend of sewing with friends! Yup, just me & my guild, stitching for days….no kiddos, no meals to cook, and I hear there’s a hot tub! HEAVEN!

Here’s what’s on the agenda:

1) Tackle a Metro Zig baby quilt in highlighter yellow, houndstooth, and skulls for my good friend’s baby boy, who’s being born at this very moment!!!! Look for the pattern available in my shop soon!

2) SWOON! I want to make a HUGE dent in the Swoon quilt that I’ve been dying to make since the day I say it at quilt market (ok, fine, I wasn’t actually AT quilt market…I just stalked everyone who was, oogling their pics on Twitter, and trying to pretend I was there.).

Here’s the random assortment of fabrics I’ve pulled from my stash for the occasion!

Super pumped about my plan to fussy cut some of these ADORABLE sheep, bunnies, and geese from Laurie Wisbrun’s Modern Whimsy line for the centers of some of the stars.

My coach awaits!!! Gotta run! Ta ta for now!
