What a wonderful time in Shipshewana! There were over 80 quilters from around the United States, Canada, Norway and Belgium who gathered at the Farmstead Inn. We laughed until it hurt. I got to meet Hanne in person and see her amazing Nearly Insane quilt up close. I have pictures to post, but it will take awhile to sort through them. The 150 four patches for Bonnie Hunter's Orange Crush Mystery were completed. I almost finished a screen tote bag and I started on my Broken Star wallhanging. More soon.
My stash has increased. Who can resist with Lollys and Yoders in town?

Love your log cabin blocks for the Broken Star!
Your Broken Star is going to be beautiful. How nice to get to meet Hanne and see that beautiful Nearly Insane quilt that almost has me wanting to do one!
I'm so envious of your being in Shipshewana, staying at the inn, and going to Lolly's and Yoder's!
I love your bag!! I *need* that pattern!! I got one from a friend and the pattern is very confusing. Looks like you had fun in Shipshewana!
Those log cabin blocks for your Broken Star are beautiful.
I can imagine what an amazing experience it would be to go to Shipshewana - and meeting Hanne and seeing her nearly insane quilt. I'm glad to hear it got finished in time.
I am hoping to get home and start my 4 patch blocks for OC very soon :))
I will have to live vicariously through you on your trip to Shipshey--I used to love to go there when we lived in Goshen!!! Glad you had a great time! Love the bag!
wow such fun!
Wonderful OC blocks! And your log cabins turned out great!
wow fabulous! you did great!!
That Broken Star log cabin is going to be terrific!
Oh that sounds like it was so much fun! Can't wait to see pictures. Love those Broken Star blocks!
How wonderful to get to go to Shipshewana. I have a red and white quilt in my future and seeing just the pictures of Hanne's nearly insane really tempts me. I can't imagine what it was like to see it in real life.
The pink fabric I'm using for my Dear Jane was actually a Fabricland find. On sale no less! Though it first caught my eye because it looks so much like a hand dye.
Must have been a great place for a retreat. I have never been there but would love to see it some time.
Happy to hear you had a great time! And how good you and Hanne found eachother :o) Way to go on the stashbusting - your broken star log cabin will look wonderful!!!
WOW, Genie, you sure had a GREAT time, and I'm so happy for you ! I knew you would spend lovely moments with Hanne, she's such a sweet person, and so much talented.
You bag is great, and your broken star is going to be awesome!
Can't wait seeing your other photos :>)
Hugs & smiles toyou, dear
