A peak at the Retreat Sample!

Howdy friends!
    I thought I would show you the project I'm working on for our Woolen Willow Spring Quilt/Rughooking Retreat! woolenwillowspringretreat2013.weebly.com The spots are filling up, with people from all over the country! It's pretty exciting! Usually we just have a small retreat, because we never advertised except for in our newsletter. My sister, Sally, has really been doing a great job getting it out there! She pushes me and Gretchen to get things done! I used to say, when I was little,  "you're not the boss of me!" But I guess she does a good job at it! Ha ha!


I'm not sure how I'll finish it yet. It might be a pillow, or a small wool quilt, or just a penny rug! I have to keep in mind that the kit price won't allow for it to be much bigger though! Funny how I do things backwards, came up with the price, then made the project! Oh well!  I may hook a special rug for the retreat also, since there will be rughookers coming!  Oh Happy Day in the sewing room! 
 
Last night I designed some fun fabric on Spoonflower.com! That was really fun! Of course, I had to pay high shipping, because I can't wait to get it in my hands! Sheesh, that stuff is expensive! I hope it turns out pretty! I'll show you when I get it!
 
My daughter, Kristen is here today doing her laundry, and found some pretty fabric I got her. So she is making a baby quilt for a friends little girl! Here she is....
Fun fabric is from Riley Blake, with chandeliers, lamps, and flowers! I think it will make a little girl very happy!
 
Well, I hope you all are having fun in your sewing rooms too!

  1. Beautiful flower design, I like the idea of doing flower designs for the spring. It is wonderful that your daughter likes to quilt. I love the idea of doing fabric ourselves, but it is pricey.

    1. Thank you, Debbie! I love flowers! The spoon flower fabric is pricey, but it will be fun to see how it comes out, and I guess, since I do get to get my fabric wholesale at the shop, I shouldn't complain to pay more than normal retail for something fun! Haha! My Daughter, had fun today, and just about finished her quilt! Hope she gets it all done and quilted!
