TMQG Retreat Insomniac

OMG!! I may finally be recovered from the amazingness that was the retreat this weekend. We ate to much, laughed a lot, drank a little, shopped and of course quilted. I defiantly feel closer to these ladies than before the trip and eagerly look forward to the next time Lee says lets go up home -- cause I am so in. 
All packed and ready to go -- yes quilting stuff and projects is in the larger one. 

Teri and I (along with her husband as chauffeur) headed west Friday morning and hit up some quilt shops along the way -- here is some of the fabric goodness that I proquired along the way. 
This set is going to be a wonky stars quilt -- adorable right.

After much debate and planning and a blog post last week I decided to take most of the projects I posted about. And it's a good thing because my pal insomnia showed up so there was a great deal of progress made and some seam ripping involved. 
bible blocks caught up (again) 
3 charity quilts bound
Unwind quilt top completed 
and promptly claimed by Mack
scrappy swoon (mostly) put together -- I forgot the fabric for the center at home. (the source of much of the seam ripping) 
backing for little fish quilt
and basted -- ready to quilt ASAP. 
started name tags for a guild member and her daughter 
started cutting blocks for Lazy Sunday. 

Such a fun time and now many more UFO's to add to the pile but at least many are close to being finished.

  3. Whew, I got tired again reading your post, LOL! I covet that sewing machine fabric!! I dunno know why I didn't get a bit, d'oh! I love the pic of Mack with your quilt. I missed it when you took it... I guess that was the last leg of my marathon pin and sew. :P I'm with you on being ready for the next one. It was a great time!

  5. Love the aqua fabric bundle and I so need to know more about your unwind quilt. It would be the perfect way to use up a bunch of scraps.

  6. Way to go!! I would probably have the same problem if I went on a retreat! I think the picture of your doggie on the quilt was great, they do seem to love to claim things!
