Once again the Crazy Eights had another wonderful quilt retreat at the Sew Cozy Inn. It is amazing how eight women can get together and everyone has such different tastes and interests. This time we started on Thursday instead of Friday.  I decided to work on Thursday morning and did not get to the retreat until that afternoon but we got plenty of sewing done! It took me awhile to figure out what to take but I decided I would concentrate on finishing my LOVE quilt that I started at our last quilt retreat in March .   I did manage to a little more work on it so this is what it looked like before I left: There were lots of cutting that of small squares that needed to be done.   Watching Fantastic Beasts helped and before I knew it all my little 2 1/2in squares were cut (all 68 of them)!  It made it much easier to work on the quilt at the retreat when all the pieces were cut out. After it was pieced I had to think about how to quilt it.  That is...

It's been a busy March so far and it all started with a Spring Quilt Retreat with my favorite "Crazy Eights"! We tried a different venue for our quilt retreat and I would say we hit a home run with Sew Cozy Quilt Lodge .  The place sleeps 10 with five bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths.  Each "themed" bedroom has a twin bed...and I say "themed" because the decor in each bedroom is just cute as can be.  The best part about the place is the quilt/sewing room!  Each person has 2 two tables and a design wall!! We had seven of our members present for this retreat and there was so much beauty being created! The "LOVE" squares were my work.  For the first day I decided I would tackle a UFO which really wasn't a quilting project.  I had an old rocking chair that needed a new slipcover.  I have had the fabric for several months.  I didn't have much motivation to work on the slipcover.  I order to go on the retreat I told myself I had to work on...
