Last Friday, four of us went on a weekend retreat just a few miles away. We were there once before a year ago. Sandy, Krista, Barb, and I have been friends for years and we were excited to find a weekend when we could all attend.
Krista's daughter, B, spent most of the weekend with us - she is 10 and has Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. It was diagnosed last month and she will have surgery to help her pain in the next few weeks. I taught her how to finger knit (she had no trouble learning - she's a natural!)
and she helped me design this quilt.
This wasn't one of our most productive retreats but we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Here are a few of the projects that were worked on:
and I put together this little jungle quilt - I think I had to sew 4 seams!
I used the rest of the layer cake that B and I used in the quilt covering her above to make this quilt.
We are busy everyday this week. Today we made pies at church.

There was also some knitting.
I made a piece for the back of a flannel quilt,

And I worked on my sailboats.

I will hopefully get in the sewing room in the next few days. I have projects to finish!
Always fun to get away for a few days with the girls. And it looks to me like you accomplished a lot! Enjoy those pies!!
