I haven't updated on my retreat a few weekends ago - it was great! I went with one main goal - to make some progress on my pineapple blossom quilt, which I did! Yay me!
The main part of the top is now done, just contemplating whether or not there will be borders and what they might look like. Here's what it looks like at the moment.
And what's the fun of a retreat if you don't start at least 1 new project? I out did myself, and now have 3 new WIPs to shuffle around, but I'll save them for another post.
I also haven't shown my finished Hugs and Kisses - here it is on the guest bed
and, I've got a new challenge to work on through the Modern Quilt Guild -a Michael Miller Fabric challenge - aren't these some lovelies? I've got some ideas brewing...
I'm linking up to The Needle and Thread Network this week - go see what my fellow Canadian crafters are working on this week! Also linking to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced
Happy quilting!

Retreats are such fun. Good friends and some quilting what could be better.
Love your pineapples.
You always have such great colour combos. Yes, I am on a mission to finish things and I also have a few more wips! We are getting unspring like weather as well. Hopefully no sniffles though.
That is one very nice quilt on the guest bed! Lucky guests who get to sleep under that! And I really like the colors you chose for your pinepapple blossom.
Wow--the pineapple quilt is looking wonderful, and I'm waiting with great anticipation for photos of the other new quilts in progress!
That pineapple quilt is breathtaking! Love the color combinations.
Glad to hear you had a productive retreat! Aren't new works-in-progress the best?
Beautiful colour combinations o your Pineapple Blossom quilt and I love your Michael Miller fabrics - what fun they will be to work with.
I like the pineapple quilt as it is, without borders. It looks fantastic, and is large enough right now-great colors.
