Where have I been...

Ok, so I know I fell off the bandwagon and have not posted lately.  Life got busy with being out of town for 16 days and then going to a quilt retreat for 4 days.

Retreat was lots of fun.  We had a great time talking, laughing, quilting, shopping and eating.  During my time at Retreat I had two main goals.  Quilt a baby quilt for my friend Desi’s baby shower, and piece and applique two animal baby quilts.   I am happy to say that not only did I complete the two tops, and quilt the baby quilt, but I also was able to decide on borders for my Easy Street quilt and add two of the borders to the quilt.  The last border will have to wait till April 7^th’s quilt get-a-way as it is too large for my current workspace.

So here is a list of my projects in process –

·        Pink animal baby quilt – Quilt (3/28) & Bind
·         Easy Street – Add border #3
·         Green animal baby quilt – Quilt (4/11) & Bind
·         Doll Quilt & Baby Quilt tops – Quilt & Bind them
·         Todem Pole Wall Hanging – Applique
·         Hexi table runner – Baste & Quilt

 So my list of UFO’s is really not that short.  I also one project that I am not working on at the moment: a Red/Black/White Twin sized quilt, which is ready for backing and to be quilted.

While out of town for work I visited 5 quilt shops and found lots of yummy treats.  I am hoping to share them in a post this weekend.  For now I am on a Quilting Supply freeze.  My goal is to not buy any quilting supplies (fabric, thread, etc) for the next 6 months.  I know I will probally not make it the full 6 months, but if try then I can save more money for our pending house move.

This evening I am off to quilt the Pink animal baby quilt.  I still have not decided on how I am going to quilt it, but hopefully the owner of Quilting-By-You can help with some ideas.

That’s it for now.  Have a Hoppy Easter weekend.
