Wouldn't you know...my therapist wants a quirkly, food life-changing quilt as well.  After all, she did inspire me to do this project through dreaded art therapy. So, at retreat I started working on a second set of the nine blocks.  They are hand appliqued and marked/ready for some embroidery. Now, I will finish the two quilts in tandem.  I am trying to decide what to do for borders...hmmm. In stitches, Teresa   :o)

RETREAT!!  (happy dance, happy dance, happy dance!)  Why do we have to pack up half of our sewing room and run away from home to enjoy hours of guilt free quilting time?!?  (None of the above stuff contains clothes or toiletries...almost forgot to pack them!)  I did not take a sewing machine...no room! Before I left for retreat, I tasked myself with getting my main floor bedroom sewing area organized. I have no room in my downstairs quilt cave for my quilt books, so I keep them in the bedroom.  It is very convenient. A homemade beautiful doll from Ola and an art glass piece from another dear friend.  I also have an embroidery piece from Mary in my downstairs sewing room.  Memories of my Michigan home...sigh. I keep my Featherweight upstairs for mending, whatever THAT is.  This is a custom sewing cabinet that Steve's grandfather made...I just LOVE it!  It used to hold an old Necci machine. There is an exercise machine...also known as a cloth...

Here is the last installment of the Heritage Quilters of Huntsville Quilt Show.   There were a few I either missed or the pictures were so blurry I could not post them. Blue ribbon - First Place Red ribbon - Second Place Yellow ribbon - Third Place White ribbon - Honorable Mention Grab a cup of coffee/tea and enjoy the last of the beautiful eye candy! The following quilt won "Best Machine Quilting, Stationary Machine" in addition to a First Place ribbon in its category. Now...go take all this inspiration and start sewing! In stitches, Teresa   :o)
