A quilt for Mardi

Mardi has been taking me home from quilt retreats for years. 

So I decided to make her a little wall hanging.  Maybe 2 feet x2 feet. 

I had made this quilt previously and brought it to retreat to quilt and finish it. 

I even added a hanging sleeve

Michelles Quilt

My longest friend Michelle moved into a new place last year.
I made this quilt for her. I have been meaning to do a plus quilt for a long time. Finally at spring retreat I was able to make this. 

I did it in one day. drew out the plans. cut it up. sewed, basted, quilted and bound before midnight!

She loves orange. Her house is in greys. and she loves butterflies. 

Plus it looks really good on my moms porch

I was goign to write the year and then wrote my postal code... lol! I fit the year on after all. 

She loves it!

Looks awesome on her couch

and good on her chair too!

Quilt retreat May 2017

Twice a year my quilt guild goes on a quilt retreat. THey usually go for 5 nights but I cannot get away that long.
This year I was able to go up on Thursday night and leave sunday morning. That gave me 2.5 days of sewing time. 

top done. I have always wanted to make a plus quilt and finally did. 

wore sewing related lularoe- pin leggings and hexie top

basting on the floor sucks

quilt finished. I woke up friday and designed this. and made it and quilted it and finished it with binding by midnight. 

this is for a friend who likes orange and her house is grey

I also finished this snowball quilt top (polar bears in some blocks)

I also made these mug things for end of year teacher gifts. 5 in total
