box kite start

I had a wonderful 2 day retreat with my quilt guild. We met at a new venue that was roomy and comfortable. I took 5 projects with me as I could tell I was having focus issues. I worked a little on all of them and then, rinse and repeat. As you can tell I am a spreader. 


Someone brought this yummy treat.


I opened the box on this older ufo from 2017. I have 120 blocks, enough to start assembly of the top. This is a Bonnie Hunter quilt from her book addicted to scraps.   


I began making twosies.

  1. A quilt retreat sounds fun. Love the blocks you made. Bonnie's quilts are usually big ones.

  2. I'm also having trouble with focus lately. I think I had 7 projects with me in February at the retreat I attended. I finish a couple, made progress on some, and didn't touch a couple of them. But like you, I had fun. Your scrappy blocks look awesome and the quilt will be so pretty!!

  7. I keep all the Addicted to Scraps patterns in a binder. I think I've made quilts from two of them.

  8. I have a 2 day retreat coming up next month. I am really excited about it to be able to work on what I want to. For the past few years I've concentrated on making things for my booth at the retreats over just enjoying myself.

  10. Aw that sounds like a good time. (I couldn't keep my hands off of anything with the peanut butter + chocolate combo!)
