Pieceable Retreat

Just had to show a picture from retreat that had nothing to do with sewing. Quilters of SC have our annual retreat at White Oak conference center in Winnsboro SC. This is a Baptist conference center. It is real nice there. They had done some remodeling and up dating. I didnt get pictures of everything, but they added a nice TV area with theater style chairs, a cafe for stacks and several sitting areas. These space age chairs make me think of Star Trek. They were fun. they just hang by a chain and swing.

Happy quilting, Vicki

Strip Stars

Remember the strip pieces star I started back in Sept. ? I have all the star blocks finished. Just have to add sashing and boarders. I got side tracked with retreat and quilting for others. I did get one unusual block. Can you guess what I did wrong?? yes, I make mistakes!!!

I will tell you later what I did.

Happy quilting, Vicki

Pieceable Retreat

This year at retreat I took a Mystery Quilt class. Had no idea what I was getting into. LOL. I had lots of fun and we all tried to guess what the mystery was and we were all wrong. The teacher, Nancy Miller, had fun laughing with us as we tried to figure this out. Every one's fabrics were so different and fun. It was amazing how all the quilts turned out. Everyone had great fabric choices. I chose to do the lap quilt size, but I think I will add another row or two to make this a twin size. Dont ya just love it. LOL

happy qulting, Vicki

Just to let you all know. I went with the yellow background on the stip stars. It is looking great. Six of the 12 are put together. I think I will sash with the yellow, to float the stars, and a braided boarder. what a great quilt this will be.

Strip Stars

I have been working on strip piecing diamonds to make stars. I have enough for 12 stars. Now, to pick a background. I have tried navy, dusty blue, dark green. Then I thought it needs to be light. At my quilt group today I was telling them about it and as I said maybe yellow one of the other ladies said yellow at the same time. She also told me I had no choice, but to listen to her. LOL it was fun. So, here is a lay out on yellow. I think I like it. What do you think???

Happy quilting,
