As I write this, it’s Wednesday night and I’m all packed and ready to leave tomorrow morning for my bee’s annual quilt retreat!
Woo-hoo!
And just for fun, a photo of my empty spools from the last year…ready to donate to a pre-school teacher that uses them in her classroom. I anticipate adding a couple more to the pile during the next four days!
See you Monday!

It literally took me ALL DAY to upload this video. Between a faulty internet connection and a really long video, I thought I would miss my first Tuesday since starting TTMT in 2009! Fortunately, I did *not* miss posting on Tuesday and I hope the video is worth the wait.
Herein lies massive post-quilt-retreat Show & Tell! There will be a photo post in the near future. I’m just waiting for a wee bit of sunshine so I can get fabulous out-of-doors photos!

It’s early (for a Saturday morning) and I’m giving myself this much time *holds up fingers* to try and get caught up before today’s Linus meeting.
I’m in hardcore pre-Retreat countdown mode. It’s kind of like going to a conn, the excitement, the planning, the lack of sleep…the big difference is there’s no hotel bill and the only costuming are our pjs.
Common interests? Check. Something to do every second of every day? Check. Food? Check! Fun? Check, check, check!
I’ve been putting together a list of what I’m taking and it just keeps growing. I think a couple of my UFO projects that I’m feeling kind of ‘meh’ about might stay behind.
So far, this is my list (you can several of these on my 2011 UFO post):
To finish:
*I have taken the HP swap blocks to the last two retreats and not touched them. The real problem is that I have no idea how I want to lay them out, so they just get transported back and forth. If I have time before Wednesday, I’m going to import all the photos into EQ7 and play with layouts. Maybe I can get inspired…
To Be Cut/Pieced:
Needs to be quilted…might take:
Other:
EQ7 Mock Up Layouts for LotR X-Stitch and Churn Dash:
I have a whole set Churn Dash blocks that look similar to this one:
These are some of the layouts I’ve thought about. The first one is my favorite, especially if I can find some shirting I like in the quilt shops we visit on the way down to Canyon Lake.
Any opinions or suggestions on the layouts? I’d love to hear them!
