\"Back<\/a>
Back from Retreat stuff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had organized a class with Rosalie Dace. Due to circumstances beyond my control, we couldn’t have her teach, so we had a mini-retreat. We basically sewed for two days.<\/p>\n

Due to more circumstances beyond my control, I brought home more stuff than I took with me. I took plenty with me, too, so I didn’t really need to bring more stuff home. Still various people needed me to bring stuff to the meeting next Saturday, so I have to house a few things until Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"Lots<\/a>
Lots of space and projects<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We moved the retreat to the place where we normally have Sew Day<\/a>. There was plenty of space for people to work and people brought some serious projects on which to work. I liked the little chest that Maureen brought. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"Marie<\/a>
Marie S.’s quilt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Marie made this quilt and was contemplating the quilting. I really like the way it looks like some squares a flying away from the center of the quilt to the lime\/chartreuse border.<\/p>\n

Colleen came to the Retreat as well. She is doing great work. I have seen some of her finished quilts, but never her in process quilt. I love what she’s doing.<\/p>\n

\"Colleen's<\/a>
Colleen’s duvet cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First, she finished the top that will be a duvet cover. I love the way she has gradated the colors. I also like the way the rings interlock<\/p>\n

This is a John Flynn Double Wedding Ring pattern. The intersecting section looks cool and is made from a pinwheel type block. It makes the centers look better – more spinny, I guess. The thing that always bugged me about John Flynn’s patterns was the blockiness of those intersections. Those pinwheels take care of that and make it work.<\/p>\n

\"Colleen's<\/a>
Colleen’s Tucker’s Taco Loco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Colleen was also working Tucker’s Taco Loco pattern. This looks like my  Interlocking Triangles quilts, Spiky Stars<\/a> and Interlocking Triangles quilt #1<\/a>. You can get this pattern from her website<\/a> – you may have to email her and tell her you want it. I don’t know if the templates are on her website yet.<\/p>\n

Now that I know Colleen can get templates made, my mind is spinning about Interlocking Triangles quilts again. Rotary templates would prevent me from having to make these quilts with paper piecing.<\/p>\n

More on my project later.<\/p>\n
