I had a great weekend at Camp Abnaki at a quilting retreat with Champlain Valley Quilt Guild and the Vermont Modern Quilt Guild.  Worked on many projects and enjoyed the comradery of  fellow quilters.

I had the most fun making a stuffed animal puppy for my future grandson due in November.  I used one of my husband’s old soft corduroy-like shirts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My next project was a large Carpenter Star bed quilt to have on my bed during the holidays.  This project has been cut and ready to work on for about 4 years – I finally worked on it at this retreat:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I spent some time working on a few other things – one trying out a new tool to make Drunkard’s Path (Sew Kind of Wonderful Quick Curve Ruler) and also constructed 3 Firefly blocks from Elizabeth Hartman’s Fancy Forest pattern (5 fireflies left and I will have all the critters completed!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next few weeks will be busy – CVQGVT guild meeting was last nite, MQGVT meeting Sunday,  working on client quilts until I go to a quilt retreat at Jay Peak next week and then the CVQGVT Quilt Show is the following week –  October will be history before I know it!
