Great Weekend!

Had a wonderful weekend up north with Regina! We took our sewing machines and worked on a quilt we had planned to do at retreat! Oh what fun we had..........why does it have to end so soon. I then had to come home and have an injection in my back for my back pain. Not feeling so great right now.......hoping this will soon pass!

Regina at the cabin.................

Here is a picture of my quilt laid out, thinking I may like this one!

We got quite a lot accomplished and hoping to get more done!!!!!!!!

Hello Blogger Friends!

We got back from retreat safe and sound and I am finally getting around to post.......Sorry it took so long! We had such a good time at retreat and are looking forward to next year! I am back and pumped to sew, but.......unfortunately, I am back to work and having a difficult time managing my time......I know that many of you work full time and still make time to sew. I am just lacking in the organization dept. for now. But I will overcome!!!!!!!!

Here are some beautiful fabrics that I found online. I am going to use them in a comfort quilt, with the Take 5 pattern.

Next, my mother has requested an apron.......guesss what she is getting for mother' day!!!!!giggle
Now here is my Take 5 that I did at retreat.......just needs borders and will be ready to quilt!
And.......My favorite.......Rear Window.......found the pattern at Jen's shop. Just love it! Completed this one at retreat.........now just need to quilt it!
I am so excited about all my projects! I have many to finish and many more to start. Hopefully, I can get organized and I will have something every week to show. Keep quilting and send me some quilting vibes!

Quilt Retreat Here We Come !!!!!!!!!

Yes, 'tis true. Regina and I are heading out in the morning for Wisconsin. So looking forward to this weekend. Lots of sewing and fun times with a great group of friends. Hope to get a lot done, but mainly hoping to have a lot, a lot, a lot, of fun!!!!!!

Hello All!

Not much sewing done lately. Still working on my snowballs, but making slow progress.......Spring is trying to get a start around here. The weather was really good for a few days and now it is cold.......what can I say, it is Michigan! Regina and I are working on our kits for retreat.......not much longer and I cannot wait!!!!!! So I am hoping to get things ready this weekend and then I can spend some time on some neglected projects! Hope everyone is sewing up a storm out there!

Happy Spring!

Happy Easter to all! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. I spent the day with family and had a great time. The weather has been great and I think I may be pulling out of my winter blues........!!!!! Have not sewed much at all.......but, I am getting ready for retreat! 17 days and counting! WooHooooooooooo!!!!!!! I am on a mission this week to get some sewing done, so we will see how it goes. I will be doing some cutting this weekend and getting projects ready to take to retreat. Wish me luck! Since the weather is nice, it is time to get to the flower beds also........Much to do and little time!

Let's Celebrate!!!!

I have a lot to celebrate this month. March is the month I was born, and although I am getting older, I am still alive and sewing........yippee! I also injured my back at work in April of 2008 and I am finally starting to feel better for the first time in almost two years. I have had a lot of difficulty keeping my sewing mojo going, have had many ups and downs and now I am ready to get it going again...........whew, having said all that, be prepared for pictures. Tomorrow is a day off and I will be sewing all day..........more tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update!.........I am still sewing......I think!!!!!!

It is time to make more snowballs and nine patches......February is almost over!These are fabrics I have picked out to make pillow cases...........as you can see they are still pieces of fabric and not pillow cases yet!
And last but not least, my happy hour quilt is pinned and I started to quilt it and did not like it, so I am ripping..........hubby was feeling sorry for me tonight and tried to help out.............

Awwwww.......isn't he cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!
