Yay, Apple!

We often get iOs updates preventing hacking and scamming. This was one of those mornings. I'm thankful we are an Apple family because I've heard horror stories from non-Apple users about getting their phones, computers, and identity hacked.

Here's some more eye candy from Bernadettes Tilda Sampler...

Me and my Dog

Do ya think my tractor's sexy?

Fly away
More on this piece today since these are taking a looooonngg time to work. After working well past "quitting" time I tore into the Koalas and we have a top!

Ready to quilt
One customer expected later this afternoon and the sun is shining (for now). I've opened all the blinds to let the beautiful day into the house so working today will be extremely bright.

Hello, hello!

Well, I'm back from the retreat. This one was SUCH A GREAT time. We laughed and ate, and laughed and ate some more. I only wish we could see this group of people more often than once a year. 

And, I was very, very productive. Day one:

First to be put together...the orphan block baby top

My Creative Grids pineapple blocks baby top

The QOV from just a jelly roll and a few yards of fabric
And I was thinking to myself I was way (way) ahead of schedule in my head. 

Day two:

Produce Section is a top
Day three:

Notice the 3-D napkin hanging
And day four:

So cute!
All of these but the table runner need borders and/or setting pieces put into them but they are constructed correctly and are ready for me to make them whole. Look at all these new quilting projects I have just created for myself. I had one of the retreat members give me a quilt to take home to work for her, so it wasn't just a 'vacation' for me but also a working situation. 

Here's day five (because technically, the retreat was still happening):

Taking the morning slow
I finished crocheting my slippers and did nothing else but put everything away and sort out the many lovely gift bags we received. 

So warm and comfy!
Today I'll be working on Bernadettes Tilda Sampler on DW while watching the snow falling slowly from the sky. Not expecting any customers with the snow/freezing fog we had last night and the continued snow we're getting today. 

Just About There

Because I had to cut yesterday short with the mammogram appointment and then having to run to Midland to UPS out two quilts heading to Germa...
