I'm Going To.......

QUILT CAMP!!!
yep - this coming Wednesday i head to quilt camp at Palouse Divide Lodge.  because of life last year i was not able to go this quilt camp.

i am sooooooo excited to be going.
i am sooooooo excited to be able to sew for 4+ days.
i am soooooooo excited just to get away for awhile.


i have been getting projects ready for camp.  i am a total quilt camp nerd when it comes to prepping for camp.  i like to have each project cut and in its own container ready to sew.  which is what i have been doing with my free time for the past week or so.


Kate Spain Verna fabric that has been well aged.  i had to do some pre-sewing of strips in order to get the blocks all cut out.  this quilt uses a rainbow template.  maybe that is why it has been sitting in my closet for so long....


my last bee block quilt top to get together.  i did some pre-sewing here as well.  i only had 11 blocks and needed 12.  duh....  i hadn't made my own block.


Origins.....  need i say more.
its not the quilt on the cover its one inside the book that i am making.


drunkards path blocks that i pre-sewed as well.  i cut these awhile back (maybe 2 years ago) on a AccuQuilt fabric cutter.  it was a set of fat quarters. i have 180 blocks and my layout is random.  it might look like a hot mess when i am done or it might turn out just fine.


doing a simple pattern with this layer cake.


Bliss....  a pattern i came up with using a Moda Candy Bar.  fingers crossed it comes out ok mathematically.


a bag or two


another bag


and another bag


Halloween quilt


pillow cases to go with my Tula Pink Stacks quilt that is being shipped to the quilter shortly.


bindings to get put on 3 quilts.

i have a couple more projects that are almost ready to go.  i will post those as well.  i always take more projects to camp then i can get done but i like it.  it gives me options to choose from with regards to what i want to work on.

i have decided that getting ready to go to quilt camp is sort of like tailgating before a sporting event.  you tailgate so you can enjoy the game.  i prep for camp so i can enjoy camp.

happy sewing

ps - the end of February marks the end of 2012 for me.  the unhappy issue that start back in the middle of 2012 was resolved this month.  so on the eve of February 28th i will say goodbye to 2012 and hello to 2013.  best part of all i will be at quilt camp doing what i love spending time with those that i love.

I'm like you - I have to have projects all packed and ready to go for camp. There's one remote resort where we have to pack everything in - food, sewing machines, projects, clothing. I take one small suitcase for clothes and one BIG suitcase for projects. What is more important, really? You look like you will have a fabulously productive time at camp!

Looks like you have some fun stuff going with you. I can't wait to see what you get finished. Here to 2013!!! I hope it is a good clean start for you!!

Wow! I would need four plus months of retreat to tackle all that! Oh, sweet bliss! Looking forward to see your results in all that fabric loveliness.
