and I found it in the quilt...(in the black square...above the "e" in large enough).
A fun quilt - but maybe not everyone's cup of tea??

A Cup of Tea Large Enough...by Sarah Fielke
In August 2013 I made a tea cup block to send to Sarah Fielke...I've often wondered what became of all the blocks she collected ...Quilters Companion (no 79) has her finished quilt...I had to go back and see what my block looked like:

Retreat 2013 - Day 5
Tuesday - beautiful weather again.
Just 5 industrious sewers left, making the most of our last hours.
I contemplated doing the borders for "Best Friends" and decided not to, so I put this teacup block together. This is to send to Sara Fielke who is collecting blocks to make a quilt. I have no idea how I stumbled on a request from her for people to make blocks, so if you know - please let me know - it was from someone's blog......
Miss High Achiever finished off 10 of her 23 projects - pretty good going considering she had an off day on Sunday.
The board looked pretty good at the end:
I have collected all the tickets from the left hand side (and the left-overs from previous years) and hold onto them until next year. We will do a roll call on Friday afternoon 2014 to see who finished what left-overs.
Our collection of finished projects looked like this: (The larger quilts that were up to "pinned" stage and some that were quilted are not here)
All booked in for "same time, same place" next year...hoping for some more "wintery" weather next year...but maybe it's a bit early to start the countdown. Luckily, I still have 5 days left until I go back to work, so there will be more sewing happening here.
I have this collection of threads...two people I know collect "Orts" so I raided a few bins whilst we were sewing. Don't worry Debbie - there is a lot of colour under all that white.
All in all, a fabulous time away - Great accommodation great food, great company, a few "memorable" moments which will distinguish this year from others.
Thanks to everyone for making it a great weekend - and especially to Erica for photographing everything and sharing her photos.
