In September I attended the last of the Holly Girls quilting retreats. Pat and Sue took over Gwen’s Beaver Island retreats when she retired 9 years ago. I have been attending this one week retreat since the 1990s.
I completely unplug while I am there and focus only on the sewing and creating. It is always a much needed brain switch for me. This little bear paw block was the first thing I made this year and it helped my brain get in the groove, so to speak.
I quickly moved on to other tiny things. These purple and pink bits went into that 7” block you can see below.
Stars are always fun. These cuties finish at 1.5”
The last finish of the week was this bitty 4” block comprised of 168 pieces. I am in love with it.
