I'm Home

WhooHoo! That was a fun retreat. 


The ladies were really nice, all 9 of them and we had a great time. Lots of fabrics, food, ideas, and laughter. We are hoping to do it again in the Fall. Fingers crossed that the cottage is available. 🤞 

Trying to organize our next retreat together. 

I couldn't have dreamed it better ... well, actually, yes, there is one thing, only ONE thing I would have changed; the weather. It snowed and snowed and snowed. But who cares? We had fun!! 

The sewing room: the right side, 


and the left side. Look at all those windows! The view was fabulous! 




I've worked on many projects (of course, me! What else is new?) but I did work with Pink too. 

Two more pink stars are cut but not the white part. Oops! I'll finish that this weekend. 


Scrap Jar Star in Pink-N-Multi. I managed to find enough different pink fabrics for the star's points so there is no repeat from the first star. Yay! 

and as always, some 9-Patch in whatever colour. 


Okay, that's not a lot but wait until I show you the other projects I worked on ... in another post. 

Enjoy!

What a great retreat! I like the snowy vistas and all that light for stitching must have been wonderful. Also love your pink included blocks. Pretty stitching, Chantal!

What a view! Snow outside, quilting with friend inside. . .what a fantastic combination. I hope the snow was corralled enough so getting home was not hazardous! Great work with pink!

Barb said...

Sounds like a fun time. I love to see it snow as long as I don't have to go out in it. Looks like you were able to stay snuggly inside. Thanks for sharing your pretty blocks with Oh Scrap!

What a great place for a retreat. Beautiful views and lots of sunlight. All that snow just means more reason to do nothing but sew!

Retreats are the BEST!!! Where did you manage to run away to? Obviously you made it home safe & sound. Pretty pink blocks!
