Just Catching Up
OH I've been busy! Have a few finishes to show and I got to go on a couple of girlfriend retreats. Life is good!
Last week-end I went with my quilting buddies on a retreat to Menasha Wisconsin. My husband says I shouldn't call it a retreat ~ it sounds religious ~ I told him it is a retreat ~ it is so good for the soul!
Here is where we slept ~
and here is where we worked
Sorry I didn't take more pictures but it was a great get-away. I worked on Prairie Bound by Country Sampler. Here is a picture from Country Sampler's website. I will post a picture of the quilt when it is all together.

We got a lot of quilting done ~ enjoyed some long walks along the lake ~ had tons of giggles and just great girlfriend time.
And the very next week-end I went to a Cross Stitch Retreat hosted by Inspired Needle in Lemont IL. We stayed at the Farmstead Inn in Shipshewana IN. We had a great time! We shopped ~ we laughed ~ we ate ~ we laughed some more ~ and we even stitched a little! I didn't take any pictures but go here and here to see a couple of great posts about the retreat. And here is what I did work on ~ Fancey Blackett
And now for my few finishes!

Teresa, what beautiful finishes!!!!! Yum Yum!!!! You will probably be having retreat withdrawal this weekend!!!! Two in row! Actually, you probably need some resting time!
So glad I got to be with you this past weekend. love you!
We did have a fun time this past weekend.
Your finishes are are awesome, esp. that quilt
Hope to see ya again soon
What fun finishes!!!! Loved spending time with you this weekend :-).
Fancey Blackett looks great! So glad you were able to finish that:))
LOVE your framing! Yeah for you on your 1st 40 ct piece:)))
Beautiful quilt. You are so multi-talented! LOVE IT:))
Yeah!!! Great finishes!! We always have so much fun when we are together.
WOW!! What fantastic finishes! I love your taste in quilting AND stitching projects! Isn't Country Sampler great?! I dream of going to their shop one day--I just love looking at their online gallery. Great stitchy WIPs--I've fallen in love with Pineberry Lane's stuff, especially Fancey. Good luck with framing your own stuff. I believe that labor charges are worth every penny but am going to try my hand at doing my own stuff here and there. As you said, saves on the pennies! Then we can buy more stash with what we save. ;)
