Thank you for sharing. I have ...Beautiful quilts! Thank you for sharing. I have a suggestion regarding pre-shrinking pre-cut fabrics....even small ones. Hear goes: Put kit pieces in kitchen sink, add hot water, let soak for a while. THEN, here's the best idea ever...Most folks have a salad spinner in their kitchen cabinet. (1) Gently squeeze your fabric pieces w/o distorting the shape. (2) Carefully place them around the sides of the salad spinner (you can even layer them). (3) Now SPIN the salad spinner!!! Wa-la...no excess water left in the fabric. It's ready to lay flat on towel to finish drying. There's no distortion of the fabric at all. Much faster than most methods.

It is now my "carry everywhere" project. You had me at the first viewing and then I found you in blogland. Thank you sew very much. I also have a small group of friends ( 8 - 10) who travel 1 1/2 hours and stay for 3 -5 days twice a year, doing whatever pleases us for less than $100 and that includes our accommodation. You get sew much done but time just flies. Sew till our/your hearts content!

So much great movement, the sparks of orange and yellow really make it pop! Love it! And thanks for the info on washing batts.....I've never done it, but might have to give it a try now!<br /><br />And I totally agree with the retreat issues.....how nice that you could all get together for such a reasonable cost! It should be all about the quilting and fun, and not about being fed and fancy rooms!
