I started the year out right, with a 3 day retreat! I made this little doll quilt as I am participating in an Instagram Swap.

Don't worry, I fixed it before sewing. I brought a baggie of left over 1" strips to play with.

I also started this little shoo-fly doll quilt.
When I got home I started yet another one. I love little four patches, don't you?
I was very good and worked on star blocks. I finished my modern set - woo hoo. The circles were a project table mate, Lynn used to make a cute baby quilt. I forgot to get a finished photo.
I sewed up my Honest House blocks. To get those cornerstones right there was some sewing adjustments. A challenge I conquered!
My other table mate and friend(?) Molly, reminded me I have to complete the sashing and cornerstones on the other 2 sides......Oh yeah.....I wondered why it looked off. I sort of completely forgot about that since I had added the sashing as I went. Live and learn. Thanks Molly!
Louise of Island Creations by Louise was our planner and hostess. We each received these fun gifts. I love the pink utensil caddy and who doesn't love a fun tote bag? Thanks Louise.
The food was great and the wine and cheese party and the Chocolate fondue was really fun.
Here are Molly's projects. She kept busy and got a lot done.
Star Runner. I think she made two or three in all.
two silver and gold tree skirts. That is a lot of sewing.
Runway ready!
Pretty string runner. We worked on the color placement layout, which forced Molly to unsew a lot blocks, but it was worth it.
These are 1" hexies - wow
It was great to get away and just sew after the holidays. I felt absolutely no guilt despite these two!
While on the USPS website the other I noticed the weirdest things. Day old poultry? Cremated remains? what the heck?
Have a happy week!
