Lots to see!

I always say I love seeing what all of my fabulous customers are up to and this pic coming up is no exception.  On March 28th, Barb taught a class for Beginner Paper Piecing - they all had a fabulous time and here's what they did....
....and a little birdie told me that some of them are already finished their tops and are making a second one......

Monday was a great day at the "Doodle" for quilts, aside from being our weekly Sit & Sew - Sandy dropped in with Gillian's One Block Wonder and since Missy (Gillian's puppy) was visiting she was sure I just wanted her picture.....
 Sandy did her amazing quilting and Gillian made a spectacular quilt!
Gillian prefers the back and if you click on the following photo you'll see why - Sandy's quilting of course......
In the meantime Missy carried on until I took a few shots of her so I thought I'd share her with the world (my world anyway) and make her just a little famous!
My good side!

My backside!

My cat impression - I'm ignoring you now!
Kathy D. also shared a quilt quilted by Sandy which she is binding right now.  It's from the Quilt In A Day book Bears In The Woods (more on order) and is just gorgeous......
Sandy and Kathy chose a pine needle pattern for the quilting and it is just so perfect for this quilt.... check it out by clicking on the photo below......
Now we get to the "Lock In" - oops!  I mean retreat - so here goes!  Some of the ladies decided to get a head start on the Retreat which officially starts this evening - so I decided to make it a challenge - will they get their projects done - well let's just see......
Raili has decided to quilt her NY Beauty

Karen is working on a "secret" - it's a Tinner she's involved in! (Likely story..)

Linda is showing off FQ's and her O'Tannenbaum pattern so we'll assume one goes with the other......we'll see!

Now - this is my space, note cookbooks, and I will be clearing my space so I can actually get some work done at some point but since I am also the chief cook and bottle washer, we'll see how quickly that will happen!  My first goal is to get it organized so that I can work in that space!  Good Luck with that!  Right now I am off to make a Key Lime Pie for tonight's dessert!

Okay, that takes care of the Early Birds, stay tuned for a late blog about the rest of the "Retreaters".  We will be here until Sunday at 5:00 P.M., some of us even coming back on Monday.....should get lots done!!!!

Happy Quilting!
