Update On Projects

Well, it's been awhile! I spent a wonderful four days in Shipshewana, Indiana at The Jane Stickle Quilt Retreat. It's so good to meet up with friends from all over the globe! The weather was so perfect that is was tempting to just be outside instead of indoors, sewing. Of course, that couldn't happen. You can
see a slideshow of the retreat and show and tell on Rosemary Youngs' Smilebox.

 I worked on the latest Whatnots project for April. It's a lot of pieces, but I loved sewing them. This one is called "Pocket Change". The squares finish at one inch.


Sewed the two blocks for our Farm Girl Vintage quilt sew along and attached the sashings to the previous blocks.


More 3" blocks for the Circa 2016 quilt from Temecula Quilts.



At the last Sleep At Home Retreat I made pillowcases for the kids at Motts Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor.


My sister, Connie and I also worked on an old BOTM called Rosewood Cottage from over ten years ago. We made some progress. Hopefully, the blocks and sections will make their way onto the blog soon.

Finally, some color outside!


Have a great week!

Everything looks really good, Jeanne, but I have to say that Pocket Change is my definite favorite! That shouldn't be any big surprise. : )
Oh, my flower beds have been so neglected this year. I should get out and see if there is any color. Your daffies are so pretty!

I like the Pocket Change and the "T's" Small blocks. Hopefully by late summer I will try to make some of the blocks. Wish we had something like the "S" retreat down here in South Texas. Oh well.... So glad that Quilters in your area are able to attend the great retreat. I enjoyed the pictures that Rosemary posted!

Glad you got to attend the Dear Jane retreat again. You've been busy moving all of your project forward. Pocket change is great with all those tiny pieces. Hope you and your sister keep working on you BOM. It's nice to get those project out from under foot.
