20 Oct Working on #3!
My Seven Sisters and I are having a wonderful time on our retreat! The weather is awful, but we don’t care – more time inside to sew š
The first project I brought with me was a small quilt to quilt. I finished what I had planned, but now have an idea to add some detail to one of the areas. I’ll have to wait until I get home to add that because I didn’t bring the thread with me. I don’t want to waste sewing time driving to the store.
Project #2 is a quilt top for an eventual pattern and I completed that yesterday. Project #3 is this diamond quilt. The blocks are done and I hope to get the top finished before lunch today. I have never made a quilt with diamonds before so I wanted to give this one a try. The pattern is by Nellie J Designs and was in the March/April 2011 issue of McCall’s Quilting. Working with the diamonds was really easy. Just using the 60 degree line on my regular 6″ x 24″ ruler. I am not a gadget girl, so if a pattern needs a special ruler, I’m not likely to do it.
I have to leave our retreat right after lunch time today as my sister and her family are coming to stay with us. They are attending a wedding on her husband’s side of the family and will be here through the weekend. It will be so nice to have a chance to catch up!
I hope your week as been as wonderful as mine š
