I'll post more about the quilt show later - I've not downloaded the pictures from the camera yet. I'll also tell more about the retreat. In the meantime I want to show you the Civil War blocks I finished while I was gone - eleven of them. These brought me to a grand total of 60 blocks as of Sunday evening.
Beauregard's Narrow Escape
Bolts of Fabric
Bull Run
Hand Grenade
Home Sweet Home
Lincoln's Telegraph
Misfortune
My Greatest Trial

Oh I like Bull Run - I love red and yellow together. And the feathered fabric in the next block (?) is ever so pretty - it really adds to the block design. 60 blocks! That is 5 times me - eeeeeek! I must sew some more before everyone is done - because I really do love them and ooh and aah every week at what everyone is doing. I watched the film Cold Mountain yesterday - what a beautiful film, but I can't think of a sadder film I've ever watched. Gosh it sure added a new perspective to the Civil War Quilt Diary and Love Letters. Even now, 24 hours later, I still feel shell shocked. Oh! and welcome home! :-)
Yippee do Patti, the blocks are spectacular! You did a great job on them. Did you end up paper piecing Hand Grenade? I almost want to see if the tri-recs tool will make those small blocks but wonder if it's worth it??
Good job!
