Preparation - not always a lot of fun - but it has to be done - I have a retreat coming up (27 sleeps...who's counting??) and I plan to finish off 3 quilt tops. I am making "wedding" quilts for each of my DD1's bridesmaids. One was married before her wedding and the other 4 since. I have already made one for DD1(blues & purples) and one for her Maid of Honour (teals), so now I am doing yellow, pink and red.
I have almost all the blocks for the inside stitched and am now working on the 4 corner blocks for each quilt.
So, I traced onto fabric and traced onto Vliesofix and ironed.
Before retreat I need to cut the stitcheries into 4.5" squares. I've already cut the strips for around each block and I have the border fabrics packed ready to go...Sounding super organised...will it all pan out??
Thanks Wendy for hosting us again...pop over here for the linky to have a look at what others did.
This time next month I will be on retreat - cyber and physical friends to sew with. Yippee!!! And hopefully I will 3 flimsies to show before I leave.

ReplyDeleteGosh, a great task you have set yourself - you do sound super organised though! And I love your Bluebird Lane block from your stitching day :-)
ReplyDeletePrep is always a long part of the projects but well worth the effort :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, you will be able to get straight into stitching at the retreat. What a wonderful gift to give!
