Made it home around  1:30 unpacked my car, then off to walmart with husband to buy food for the week. Wow I am tired. Had a wonderful time at the retreat, 5 of the 6 ladies finished their quilt tops. I won the challenge this time. Karen handed out the challenge fabric for the Aug. retreat. I will be going back to the canyon the first part of April to the NNNQG retreat that I have planned a mystery quilt for. Then it will be off to Paducah with 3 of the greatest friends ever. I will be picking up 7 quilts from my machine quilter tomorrow, can't wail to see the quilting on them. Until next time Happy Quilting Vickie.

FUN!

OK I have everything ready. It's  off to the quilting retreat tomorrow morning.  This is long over due, it's going to be alot of fun.

busy day

Saturday was a busy day spent the day with very dear friends getting stuff ready for the NNNQG retreat in April. This is going to be the best retreat ever. Then it was off to see my mother and grandkids. Then I got to see my new niece, she is 2 weeks old. Today I am going to walmart for my mother, finish the book that I am reading, and quilt my art quilt over the rainbow. I might even do the laundry but no guarantees.

Kits

For our retreat is April one of my jobs was to pick out a pattern and fabric or a quilt kit for the retreat director, and two of my very dear friends who has helped with the retreat plans and mystery quilt. The pressure was on, but I was up for the challenge. I have all three kits and they are beautiful. Its going to be hard to let them go. The retreat director has picked out a quilt kit for me, I can't wait to see it.

Going to try again

Well it's been awhile since I have been on my blog, so I am going to try it again. Spent the day sewing with good friends.
