How wonderful it was to retreat!

My guild, the Illini Country Stitchers, held a retreat at the Threads of Time Danville IL retreat center over the 3 day weekend. About fifteen people came, some for all the time, some for just a day. I spent three nights and 2 full days there and got so much done. I thought I packed too ambitiously, with way too many tasks to do, but ended up getting all done to the point I wanted. Today I'm tired, but happy.

Here is the second Tom R. t-shirt quilt, made a bit smaller than twin bed sized. The first one is posted in January 2010. The piecework was done on retreat, but all the t's were precut, stabilized, and had a designated spot mapped out in advance.

 Now my next task is to applique a couple of items to fill dead space in two spots (navy gap on top right and in the blue space below in the bottom angled piece). Then I'm ready to layer and quilt these two puppies. Can they get done by next spring? Depends on how much homework help my high school daughter needs.

Then I owe myself the posting of this little wall hanging, Kitty Corner. I just love the golds it it. The top was finished at the May guild retreat. I'll have to look up the pattern designer later.

That's it for now. I'll get the other September retreat projects out for photos and post them soon.
