So, what does Strip Poker and “Row, Row, Row the Boat” have in common?
They were happenings at the retreat I attended this week. (and dang it … that silly song is still singing in my head!)
Yes, Strip Poker was played with different 2.5″ strips of fabric … lots of fun! And “Row, Row, Row the Boat” was sung by everyone that participated in the secret sister exchange!
Here’s a glimpse of what happened at the retreat … the first group of pictures were taken by Judy B.
And I took these pictures …
Unfortunately, I didn’t get pictures of what everyone was working on … but, believe me, there was a LOT of creativity happening!
So what did I get done?
I didn’t get a single thing finished … but I did get a few things done on a few things. Here is the list of what I took to work on and what I got done …
- Birds panel (ufo). … to the flimsy stage
- Wallet #1 (ufo) … a little bit of work on it … snaps are in
- Wallet #2 (ufo). … a little bit of work on it
- Colour BOM (ufo). … not even touched
- MSQ wall hanging (Quilt More, Worry Less) … put together and quilted.
- Chilhowie … one row of sashing on …
- Shades of Blue project … not even touched
- Nutcracker and Inktense pencils … a little colouring done
I could have easily finished the Quilt More, Worry Less wall hanging, but I didn’t have binding fabric with me and I did not want to buy any more fabric … but it may be finished soon!
Starting Monday …
Yes, the SAHRR (pronounced Stay At Home Round Robin) starts on Monday. You can read more about it HERE. Be sure to follow all of the bloggers and join in the fun!!!
One who sleeps under a quilt is covered by LOVE!
Happy Quilting!

Lots of un in the works at your retreat. Sounds like you made good progress on a few fronts. I’m really looking forward to the SAHRR, but I need to finish my center block this weekend. I’ve got the background all cut, now to dig through my scraps for the rest.

I always take more than I expect to work on. The idea of being out in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do is frightening. Of course I rarely touch 2/3 of it. You at least touched most.

Well, I did touch most, but didn’t finish anything totally … but that’s OK … it’ll get done, eventually! 🙂
