Weekend Retreat

The planning committee for Commn Threads Spring Break retreat had a weekend retreat to do some planning and get our ducks all in a row for the upcoming Route 66 retreat. We traveled a little over an hour to River Retreat Center in Perrysville, IN.  Very nice one story house for up to 10 quilters. The owners were great to work with. Will probably be back.

I finished the Amish With a Twist 3 quilt.

Added top-stitching on these birthday table runners.

Added the last border piece to this little quilt. I'll have to search my blog to find out the details of this one. I do know it has been in my sewing room for some time, miss new one side of the border. I found that strip of fabric when I sorted my Christmas fabric last week.

I made some progress on my ongoing leader/ender project.

Tomorrow it's back to customer quilting.

Leaders and Enders, and Tips!

I'm busy working on my Scrap Squad quilt and am finding that I need lots of Leaders and enders. So, I got out my tumbler die for my Go Cutter and have the blocks cut for my Hands2Help quilt. When I finish chain piecing a row of the scrap squad quilt, I stitch two of the tumblers together. Hopefully, I will finish 2 quilts at the same time.

If you were at Paducah and went to the Eleanor Burns show, you'll see that I'm taking her advice......LEAVE THOSE TIPS HANGING!
