Well, I finally got around to quilting those 3 9 patch tops! Here's the 1st one done. I had so much fun doing this little red & black one!
On to finishing the other 2!

Whew! A whole month since I've posted! Where does the time fly!
Did Guild, had a super presentation from Brenda Jaske on "How to become a Blue Ribbon Quilter". She always does an awesome presentation.
Right after Guild, my friend, Judy, & I headed out to Irena Bluhm's home in Celine, TX for a one day retreat on the longarm. I actually got to spend a little over a day with Judy & enjoy some quilting together instead of over the phone!  The retreat was terrific! Irena's hospitality was fantastic! We took 2 classes on retreat day. In the morning we did a class on feathers & the afternoon was on background fills.  The day just flew by! We learned a lot & I think we gained a little weight too! Every time we turned around they were offering us food, drinks, whatever we needed.  If you have the chance, take a class from her in her home. It's well worth the time & money!
I have been doing a little quilting. I just did 14 quilts for charity! Yes, that's right....14!  Here they are...
All ready to take to guild & have someone else do the bindings.
