Our retreat was in full swing yesterday ---as two rooms of quilters began their journey of making Smith Mountain Morning from my book Scraps & Shirttails II using specialty rulers including Easy Angle, Companion Angle, and Tri Recs!

I’ve never taught this as a two day class before –and I must say that I like this!

Yesterday we tackled the stars -- today we will move on to the log cabin alternate blocks!

I like slowing down and really giving everyone a chance to master these tools ---to fix their seam allowance so that all units are turning out the same correct size ---to take the time to get to know the ladies and where they are on their quilting journey!

Their colors are varied and so wonderful--

Of course there is quite a bit of silliness going on because after all this IS retreat!  And they have made me feel so much at home even presenting me with a birthday cake last night while everyone sang.  You know what? I think EVERYONE should celebrate their birthday at Quilt Retreat ---it’s the best thing ever!

Many of my cohorts in Quilt Crime in Room 1!

The pile of scraps I posted about on facebook the other day has been dug through – and it is somehow expanding!

It went from this….

To this….

TO THIS as ladies dug for precious bits to include in their projects!

AHA!  I’ve found the culprits!

So far I am showing great restraint though I have  had people bringing me snippits of this and snippits of that as I continue to work on my paper piecing:

This is how you KNOW it’s time to call it quits and go to bed:

Well DANG!!  LOL!

At least I anchored one corner?? :cP
