My Red Ribbon

Here's my miniature called Churn Dash that received a 2nd place ribbon in this year's BCQG show.  Show colors were purple and lime green and the volunteers dressed appropriately.  Lovin' my lime green shirts! 

Below are the two mini quilts and the table runner that I had for sale in the show boutique.  I'm planning to take them to the TVQG show in the fall and see if they will sell there.  Maybe they were over-priced or just the right customer didn't come to the show.  If they don't sell there, I will gift them to someone.  Anyone interested?

Spring has sprung!

Kind of a pathetic display but I was thrilled to see two blooms on the jonquils I planted years ago.  They have never bloomed!  Guess the freezin' winter we've had was good for them!

Hope this means spring will be here soon!

Retreating at the Hill

What a fun time we had at the Hill last weekend!  We started out Thursday as a small group (only 4 of us) but grew to 6 on Friday.  Thought Kathy and I would get there before Charlotte and Sandra but we got distracted by the goats crossing the road and missed our turn.  Finally got on the right road and then missed our next turn!  Knew we were lost when we saw the church at Cranfalls Gap so we turned around, turned on the GPS, and finally made it!  Those goats were just too cute!

Nancy & Joy arrived on Friday afternoon and got busy sewing right away.  Nancy only stayed one night but I think she finished everything she planned to sew.

Here's Kathy, working on some handwork.  She was busy both days with the baby quilt for her new granddaughter that's on the way.

Sandra started a new project and was well on the way to finishing the main blocks when we quit to go to the One Stop Shop Hop in Waco.    Wonder if she finished on Sunday???

Charlotte worked on some handwork and cooked for us.  Thanks, Charlotte!  The meals were delicious - Charlotte has quite a gift for hospitality and we were well-fed!  Anyone who missed this retreat should try hard to make the next one (if we're invited again) - it is always a lot of fun to get away at the Hill.

Quilting For Christ Cutting Day

We had a cutting day in January to cut kits for flannel baby rag quilts.  Donna and Mary worked hard that day with Margie directing.  Sherrill joined us but managed to avoid my camera.  She was pressing and cutting also.  I counted batting squares and cut some flannel.  It was so good to see Sherrill after several weeks of being busy with her move to a different house.  Margie went back alone in the afternoon and worked hard without us!
