I was stuck. It has been awhile.<\/p>\n<p>I decided what I needed was time and some space. Since I would have 30 or so uninterrupted hours at the CQFA Retreat, I decided to bring it along. It wasn&#8217;t a UFO I was intending to finish, but it was a good opportunity and I grabbed it. Finished is finished, right?<\/p>\n<p>I gathered up all the pieces and parts and looked it over before I left. I also brought a couple of drawers from my scrap cabinet and a variety of other supplies. Clearly, I got serious about this project.<\/p>\n<p>At the Retreat. I started cutting out fabric to match the pattern pieces I had made from fusible. It wasn&#8217;t long before I had all of them done and the piece was ready to sew. I arrived at the Retreat at about 2pm and had all the fabric in place by the time we went to dinner at 6.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44852\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44852\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wp-15478701446474104149803909283276.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wp-15478701446474104149803909283276-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Serendipity Lady - redy to sew\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wp-15478701446474104149803909283276-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wp-15478701446474104149803909283276-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wp-15478701446474104149803909283276-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44852\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Serendipity Lady &#8211; redy to sew<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The fusible got too old, so I ended up using a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2sCAfuw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sewline Glue Pen<\/a>.
