I finished my Brenna Dresdon blocks and want to get the background cut today. They will be appliqued.
Shopping my stash, I am deciding between white on white, Grey low volume, or a variety of low volumes. They all really change the look.
I also have Fishy Business on the design wall while I make a few more blocks. My wall actually has a mix of four project WIPS:
- Sydney Harbor Bridge with a paper sketch of the Opera House
- Cluck, Cluck, Bawk!
- My friend's row for our row swap project. She is calling her row quilt Farm Life
One chicken done, 5 more cut out, one still deciding which direction she should face.
I have been retreating as well. Here are some photos.

I took a Featherweight Maintenance Class. We took out every screw, cleaned, oiled, and lubed. It was so scary taking the tension pieces apart- yikes!
I do love looking at pictures of what others work on at your retreats. Your design wall is a but full...LOL...you will need to finish something ...Have you decided on your background...it can be tricky.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise lots going on lol - Was that you ironing quilt pieces at an Airport Lounge?? Re the dresden block backgrounds - I actually love the top photo with them all on different backgrounds which seems to work beautifully together- but that's just my thoughts. Fishy Business is certainly gathering a larger school of fish.
ReplyDeleteI like the scrappy low volumes .
ReplyDeleteFour great projects on your design board…
A fun busy retreat. Always nice to make new friends…

The Featherweight class would have been interesting - I love mine! Lovely seeing what you and your friends are making, I do like the Dresden blocks on mixed low value backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteI can’t believe you were ironing at the airport. You are amazing
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun on your retreat and lovely projects on your wall. I prefer the first version of your Dresdens! xx
ReplyDeleteI really like the different backgrounds for the Dresden blocks, they look great. the retreat looks fun and it's always good to make new friends.
ReplyDeleteWell that’s dedication ironing in the airport is it? Looks like you are all enjoying yourself.
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! The Dresden blocks are gorgeous. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteQuilt retreats are good for the soul! SEW happy for you to be able to get away, the maintenance class sounds great, I could use some tutelage there! Your Dresden blocks are wonderful, I'm fond of the scrappy LV backgrounds but that's just me, the more the merrier! Lovely post, gorgeous photography!
ReplyDeleteLike a few of the other girls, I like the scrappy low volume. I’ve made a few with that background. They will look so good. I would have enjoyed the featherweight maintenance class, and yes, pulling the tension down would be scary. It looks like you had a fun time at retreat.
