I went to a quilt retreat last weekend organized by a wonderful retreat hostess. It was her first time hosting a retreat at a hotel and it turned out to be a great venue! We had shared accommodations and the sewing was set up in a conference room. The lighting was excellent and everyone had their own six-foot table. There were lots of design walls so it was like an evolving quilt show as new projects were laid out and shared!
One of our goodies was this really cool threader from https://snagmagic.com/. It allows you to quickly bury your loose threads in your quilt. It makes this task so quick and easy! (Not affiliated, just like this product!) https://www.facebook.com/Snagmagic/
I quilted it with an overall meander loopy pattern. Done is better than perfect!
And it’s done! And I am sooo happy! Now that it is finished, I really like it! I finished hand stitching the binding when I got home and finally got a chance to get pictures outside (well, for my husband to take pictures!). And what better way to spend Family Day than going for a walk with two of the grands!
I also made progress on these two sets of blocks on my and got them sewn to the flimsy stage! Yay!
I had a little helper to hold the quilt with me today. So fun! Her little brother was sleepy and just chilled (literally) in the stroller.
Happy quilting!

Retreats are so much fun! It sound like yours was even productive, too! Sometimes I find myself doing more visiting than quilting at retreat.
I really love all of your quilts. Your fabric choices are just so fun.
So glad you liked the SnagMagic needle and enjoyed the retreat. It's people like you that make retreats so special. Also I LOVE your pics of beautiful quilts on the snowy background - winter does have it's uses! Happy Stitching from kate.sewfab@gmail.com
Yay for a finish at the Quilt Retreat (and another on its heels!!)
