Big Bear Lake Retreat, Day 2

Day 1 we did not begin to sew until mid afternoon by the time we drove all the way up, checked in and unpacked all of our sewing supplies.

However, I did get the blue binding on the blue and white quilt, another one done!

Today I power walked 30 minutes before breakfast then got started on this starry quilt, but after a few hours and resewing after undoing a lot of strips, I became bored with the little nine patches, so I packed it away and took out another kit not nine patches.

These HST blocks completed I packed up for the night and I will tackle the other blocks tomorrow.

Thirteen of us …...

 and yes, those are garage doors you see because we are sewing in a garage!

 A fourth of the group decided it was too crowded so they moved their machines etc upstairs,

 by the kitchen! You know that retreats are all about the food,LOL

 Tut #2 by Meredith, far right, these are Swiffer dusters replacements made from scraps of recycled fleece, they are washable too- I think I might spray mine with Endust.

 Barbara's blocks

 Retreat favors offered by Meredith, trash bags for our vehicles, they are clever, a large button sewn to the top edge keeps the bag from sliding out of the glove box. I will get a pic of one in place tomorrow.
