What a month!!

Here's the run down:  Bunny got sick.  I got sick.  Bunny on antibiotics.  Me on antibiotics.  Giving bunny antibiotics a challenge.  Bunny gets antibiotics dribbled down chin every time.  Bunny excessively licks chin.  Bunny has hairless chin. 

After a bit bunny and I were both feeling much better from our illnesses.  Then for me the daily headaches start.  Bunny's chin hair grows back.  Bummer, that naked chin cracked me up. 

Finally last week I was feeling back to normal, and just in time for the fall quilt retreat!  Mom and I went last year and had a BLAST.  This year we had a wonderful time as well.  I love getting to spend time with my mom.  We enjoyed sewing and visiting from Thursday through Sunday.  Not a meal to prepare, not a dish to clean.  Heavenly. 

I didn't take too many pictures of the retreat.  I wasn't in the picture taking mood.  Shocking I know!  That is not like me.  At all.  But I fell so in love with this quilt by the fabulous Renee, I had to lug out the camera.

You are awesome Renee!  I can't tell you how many wonderful people come to this retreat.  I was so great to catch up with friends that we met last year at the retreat.  And so equally great to meet so many more new friends.  I can't wait to see you all next year! 

I finished quilting a quilt (pics soon!) and put together a simple quilt top for Little Sis.  She chose every single fabric for her quilt. 

Now I've been slapping charm squares up on the design wall for Big Sis.  I hope to decide on a final design and start peicing this soon!

I was so excited to find this Halloween Fabric!  It made adorable pillowcases.

I'm also excited about the color of my hydrangeas.  I love the faded purple/green/gray they have become.   

Oh!  I came home from retreat with some new fabric.  We stopped at a great quilt shop that had a nice coupon for all of us retreat people. Isn't this a cute stack!?

Ok, now it's time for me to get sewing on Little Sis's Halloween costume.  She's got bell bottoms on order from mom's sweat shop. 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!   xoxo

Wow a hectic month for sure!

Love the quilts that you made/are making and also Renee's quilt

Would love to go an retreat, maybe one day.

Also I love Hydrangeas, one of my most favourite flowers,fresh or dried, I have a white one in my garden, for some reason i have decided my plant is a boy, dunno why, weird I am sure but he has survived several moves so I guess we have a relationship of sorts!

Anyway have a good weekend!

Enjoyed this.

So glad Charles Bingly survived his illness, and you too of course. The retreat sounds fabulous and that's a wonderful stack of fabric to inspire you. I look forward to seeing it become something special (eventually).

I looked around on your blog to find an email link so I can contact you to ask you a question but I could not find one. I am hoping you will reply back to me so I can contact you about a tutorial.

Thanks so much!

I too, looked around for a contact email - no go. Correct that, would you??? And what's the matter with me that I didn't get it at the retreat? It took me a week to get things sorted out as well after getting home.
What a lovely bunch of fabrics you chose. I should have stopped there too, but instead I went north and discovered a new ( to me )shop near Olympia.
Thanks for the great pics of my quilt, but I was sad to see there's none of my new love (thanks to you, I've now got my eye on a couple of Blythe's over on ebay).

Fun to catch up with you. Love that stack of fabric. I'm sure you're better and had a good halloween, at least I hope so.

[sweet cottage dreams]

Glad to see what you are sewing! Hope you are feeling better. So unlike you to not want to take pics. But I am glad you did of Renee's quilt! Nothing short of amazing! It is so fun!!!! Looks like cobwebs.

LOVE what YOU are making, too.

Hey Sarah! I know I'm totally late, but I wanted to say it was great to see you at the retreat. And I love how the 'big sis' quilt looks so far! Send me your address so I can send you some sheet FQs (no promises on how soon I'll get around to it since I'm the queen of procrastination lately, but that way it will show up when you least expect it!). :-)

[happy zombie]

ACK... so sorry you were so sick!!! Hope you're much better now. I loved seeing Renee's quilt (isn't she the best!) - so sad I couldn't come to retreat. Thanks for showing the pics!! Sniff. Sniff. Cry. Bawl. KMA. xoxo
