We had a fantastic winter retreat at
Mrs. Miller's Cabin in Charm, Ohio this past weekend. The weather was perfect and the sewing machines were buzzing. We ate wonderful meals, shopped at Mrs. Miller's Dry Goods, caught up on family news and enjoyed the best weekend you can imagine.
It took a weekend at The Cabin to finally finish Easy Street borders. I needed a big floor space to lay it out and measure. It's my largest quilt ever, as you can tell by the picture. The quilt holders were standing on chairs and I have to thank them for risking life and limb to get this shot. We found the perfect backing at the quilt shop and Miss Carol is going to quilt it for me. I know it is in good hands!
Sometimes pictures tell the story better than words can convey.

DeleteThe light coming through the window makes Dana's quilt look like stained glass.
ReplyDeleteWe had a wonderful time.
I didn't notice that - It does have a stained glass window look. Yes, we had a fabulous retreat and am looking forward to many more.
DeleteYour Easy Street is beautiful. Love the way the gray border. Thanks for the compliment on my "Sparkling Sea Glass" aka Easy Street. Mona in Melbourne, FL
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a challenging quilt, but worth the effort. I was just in your state, Fort Myers Florida, this past week and really enjoyed the nice weather. We visited The Quilt Lover's Hangout shop in Fort Myers. Fun! Take care and have fun quilting.
