it's finally here!

The quilt retreat I signed up for is this weekend! I'm so excited! Here's what I have ready to go:

We'll be swapping scraps and needed to bring a gallon bag full. I've been adding to this bag for a couple of months now; there's a good variety of fabrics in there!

I really struggled with picking a pattern for the pot holders and placemats... I finally just started cutting and piecing. These are the potholders; I haven't started the placemats yet.

I'm also taking my quilt...

Yes, I know. I'm the last to finish my quilt along quilt... It was supposed to take six weeks and we started the first week of June! Bad Carmen, bad. Mia and Nancy  have both had theirs finished for ages. Me? I'll finish dead last, behind the new mom and the self proclaimed procrastinator, haha.

And... ta da! I got a new sewing machine! It's a Singer Confidence Quilter. It  might not be a Viking or a Brother or a Janome, but I love it and it's mine!

  1. Oooh I can't wait to hear about your quilt retreat!! Don't even worry about the quilt-a-long thing. I may have finished that, but I didn't even start the quilt I was going to make for Ruffin!! :P
    And congrats on the new sewing machine - I'm jealous!! :)
