Working Vacation…

Up North, near Alexandria, MN I found peace from the phone but not from the hummmm of the sewing machine(s). The ‘retreat’ cabin I visited with 5 of my quilting buddies buzzed from the constant whirl of our sewing machines…mostly Berninas. Everyone was working on their own project(s). No one came with less than 3 projects to work on. Quilted bags, pillowcases, baby quilts and large quilts, we did it all. Of course there was way too much food…cookies, candy and crackers…dips and daiquiris…burritos and beer. Ok, we didn’t have any beer but it sounded good. Pictured are the quilts I worked on for 2 days…all 3 quilts are from Quilts Remembered patterns. I started quilting the new samples of Divided Stars and Olive’s Table Runner. I began piecing the Soldier Album Quilt from fabric I received as a gift. The fabric called ‘Miniatures’ is a new by Julie Hendricksen and printed by Baum/Windham textiles. There’s still a lot to do on them so I better get busy!!! So until later my friends…

Happy Living!
