I'm getting packed for our second annual Blogger's Quilt Retreat which starts tomorrow morning. Most of us from last year (minus a few very SPECIAL ones) and then a few new to the retreat.
We had SUCH a great time last year, I know it's going to be fun. Again, I am the only one from Minnesota and it's taking place in Minnesota (Yay!).
Here's what I'll be working on:
I have ALL the pieces cut out for a King Size Single Girl and I'm determined to get it together this weekend. I have a few other projects packed (in case I finish Single Girl or I can't look at it any longer.
Wish me luck on getting this top together.

Ric Rac did get quilted and bound in time to use on the table for our Fourth of July celebration:
I don't know if you can see the quilting, but I sewed straight lines crossways across the quilt, added a print bias binding sewn on the back, brought around to the front and finished with a star stitch.

Audrey was out swimming and on the pontoon with us last week:
Shortly after this she fell asleep and slept until we woke her when we got back to the house.

Really like the aqua you're using for your single girl.

What a great idea to have a blogger's retreat. You would think there would be more than one attendee from Minnesota when it is being held there. What a great way to get to meet bloggers in person.
Enjoy! I'm looking forward to seeing your Single Girl experiences.
Love your project, your quilt and your sweet bundle of love. Have fun at your bloggers quilt retreat. Can't wait to hear more and see photos.
