This is a super fun quilt to make. While it looks time consuming because of all the blocks there is a secret to it that makes it go so fast…..plus all your seams will line up beautifully. Another big bonus is that it takes only a small amount of each fabric and you can even use fat quarters. You know you have been buying them so now you can use them! 🙂 Here is the link with more information and to register to be sure to get your spot!

Just look at these amazing Barn Quilts created by this group of quilters from a West Virginia Quilt Guild that meets in Kearneysville, WV. They worked yesterday afternoon on wood instead of fabric but in either medium they make beautiful things! Nice work everyone. That was fun.

I spent this past weekend with a fabulous group of quilters. Lots of laughing and sharing and showing off their beautiful work. It was so much fun and so inspiring to work along beside these quilters.

Just a few more hours to sew and then I have to pack up and head home. What a wonderful group of quilters who shared ideas and skills freely. Lots and laughing and joy in the room. We will share photos from the Show and Tell soon.

During the Stitching Retreat we took a morning off to make a little road trip to Harrisonburg to see the Virginia Quilt Museum. It was AWESOME! There was an amazing exhibit of antique star quilts. I LOVE a star quilt so I really enjoyed seeing these. The photos don’t do it justice but you get the idea. If you get a chance be sure to go to Harrisonburg and check it out. Here’s the website so you can see all the things they have on display.
Our happy crew getting to see the Virginia Quilt Museum.

I’ve missed several days of posting here as I was out of town for our sixth Stitch & Bitch Retreat out at Shenandoah River State Park. We always have such a great time. We sew, crochet, knit, eat, drink, share ideas and play games. The games are a highlight. We play “Strip” Poker using jelly roll strips and the winner gets a ton of them and has to make something and then share. Sometimes it’s scary to win. LOL! We played Left, Right, Center and the winner got to choose from a ton of great sewing/quilting prizes. And you can tell by the photos that there was a lot of joking and laughing going on.

My two favorite people to paint with at Capon Springs Art Retreat are Peggy and Chris…the mother-son duo who attend all the retreats and create some terrific art. I look forward to seeing them each time we go to Capon. Peggy does fun paintings each time and Chris always does something different. This time he created some gorgeous landscapes on multiple canvases. I love how their work turns out! Great work guys. Looking forward to seeing and painting with you both again soon.
