It’s amazing how much sewing I can get done when I’m at a quilt retreat. Just a few days of sewing, laughter, stories and a few bottles of wine.

Flannel bucks and squirrels on Moda Grunge fabric for the son of a hunter. Quilt top #1 complete.

Quilt top #2 is a surprise quilt for my husband. I bought the beer panel at the Houston Quilt Show at least three years ago. As usual I didn’t have a pattern. I did make disappearing nine patch blocks to fill in around the printed blocks. I’ll have to get one of my grandkids to help make the quilt sandwich so I can keep it a secret until Christmas.

I love, love, love this Anna Maria Horner fabric line. Another no pattern quilt. I cut 6 inch and 3 inch strips and started sewing them together.

I stopped at Friends Quilting Basket and got Cuddle Minky widebacks for all three.

Next step is getting them on to the quilting machine. Stay tuned
