As I had hoped, I got a lot of sewing done today, Day 3 of my at-home retreat. Today I worked on a wallhanging for Cinco de Mayo, using the Pin the Tail on the Donkey techniques from the book Quilter's Playtime.
I still can't believe it, but I'm nearly done with the quilt top. It's small, but I didn't think I could get this far in just one day. I have most of the elements sewn together, and I have just the bottom portion to go--3 very short seams. However, I've hit a little snag in construction so I'm calling it a day while I think about different options. Probably tomorrow with fresh eyes the answer will come to me pretty quickly.
I'll post pictures and details about the wallhanging soon.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my quilts and travels. I make lots of quilts, many as gifts, some for charity, and a few on commission. I love to travel and I own a car, but I am afraid to drive in heavy traffic. So I often use public transportation to visit big cities. I don't just go on trips--I have adventures!
