Retreat Time Nearly Here

We had guild meeting yesterday, a stash sale, and a trunk show put on by Mary Ewing of Quilts of Valour in our area. It was such a successful day! I sold lots of my existing stash . The trunk show was very inspiring! Now that the meeting is over, I can concentrate on getting ready for retreat...we leave next Tuesday morning, and I can't wait, 3 nights, 4 days of sew much fun!!!! I hope to work on some UFOs, one of which is to machine piece my Inklingo NYB blocks together, woot, woot.
I'm finally getting things back to normal after we had the hardwood floors resanded and varnished. The mess was amazing, I think I got about 90 % of the dust out!!!


I don't think we need mirrors in the house anymore, we had them done in gloss finish and they're beautiful!!!!
One more thing I wanted to tell you about.....I found the most amazing thing for quilters wanting to organize!!! LOL, now isn't that you????? If  you go over  to Taryn's blog, Pixels to Patchwork,   here  you will find these wonderful Free Printable: Quilt Project Sheets.
Now we can keep all our projects in order of what state they're in, individually and all on one sheet.
I just love them. Make sure you tell her I sent you and of course, leaving a comment to Thank her. How generous she was to make these for us all to use!!!
Till we meet again!!!
