Happy New Year … a little late

Hello all. I took a break from the shop and quilting in general in January because my husband and I started remodeling our kitchen.

Quilt retreat!

As you read this I am happily sewing away at quilt retreat. The semi-annual get-a-way is hosted by my guild, the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild and it gives me four days of (mostly) uninterrupted sewing and quilting.
