Oh baby, did we have fun at our quilt retreat this past Friday and Saturday.
April, Sue and I took off Friday morning for a quilt shop tour of Utah County. It was fun to go to a few stores that I have never been to before :) I was so good!!! I only bought some batting and self striping yarn that was on clearance :) We had lunch at Costa Vida (YUMM) and then headed over to the church about 3-ish :)
For fun, I made some cute pin cushions for all of the ladies. I copied
HaleyJo :)
At the retreat I worked the WHOLE time on my nephew's Surf Shop quilt. I was able to finish all of the blocks and get them sewn together :)
I still have borders to add, but I am SO happy that I was able to do this much. There are 24 different surf boards that make up the top. I hope to get this bad boy finished and shipped off to California by Friday. I was hoping to have the whole thing finished this weekend, but it took a TON longer to do than I had anticipated. There are 9 more surf boards on this one than on my husbands. And yes, apparently, nine more is a LOT more ;D
We came home Saturday evening TOTALLY STUFFED and exhausted! Good times were had by all :D
The surf board quilt is awesome! I love the colors and prints you've chosen. The amount of quilting you get done is amazing and an inspiration :)
