Retreat was totally FUN, but golly it feels good to be home! Do you feel that way when you travel or take a trip -- long or short?
During Retreat, the squares for my Twister experiment were sewn together, sub-cut with the special Twister ruler, and sewed back together. OMGoodness but it does shrink a lot with this process. BTW, I threw in a striped fabric just for the heck of it to see what would happen.
Hopefully, I can trim up the "waste" bits and use them to add a pieced border. Right now it is just too small for anything. Fingers crossed.
The Retreat Center is lovely, very quiet and soothing. Below is a pic of just one of the many lovely areas we walked past on our way to the dinning room -- sewing requires sustenance! lol. This was a nice place to spend a weekend. All we did was sew sew sew, eat, chat, sleep, repeat! lol.
That's all for now... more later when I've caught my breath. I hope where ever you are that you have the time to create something for yourself or someone you love.
Quilty hugs,

You really got a lot of great projects done at your retreat! I keep saying I'm going to make a snappy bag.....it is on my long list. I hope you liked using the Lil' Twister tool! I have several on my blog and also had fun with photos of before cutting and after. I also have the 2 smaller sizes.
Great projects Cyn. I love your lil twister quilt. Sounds like you had a fun, productive time. I agree it is a lot of fun to go but it is always nice to get back home.
LOVE your little twister quilt or flimsy!!!!
Can't wait to get mine - it's on back order, right now....
Glad you enjoyed yourself, Cyn!

You got a lot done on retreat! LOVE your twister project! Couldn't see how the stripe square came out.. did you eject it in the end?
Love your baggies too! What a great idea to have a quilted back for your machine feet. Glad you had a good time!! Sounds like it was a lot of fun :)
