Normally, I don't kiss and tell, but we had a wedding...Our eldest son got married today.
It was the most beautiful day and I gained a new daughter...
The bride and groom...
Dashing couple...
Friday, I hosted our 8th annual quilt retreat again...This is a family affair and we had family come in from Washington and California and all over Utah...
This year, we all had to sew 4 blocks of the pattern Mumbo Jumbo by Pie in the Sky. I first saw the pattern on Nedra's blog from Cactus Needle and have loved it ever since...
I prepared all the half square triangle centers and
everyone brought a bunch of precut strips to sew these blocks...
After the blocks were all sewn,
Marciea, my sister above won all the blocks so she will have a twin size quilt when she sets the blocks...
Each block represented the fabric choices of the person who made it and it was fun to see how they all came together...
Even my mom was building blocks...
Great time was had by all and
we established memories once again...
So, if you want to establish a fun tradition, think of hosting a quilt retreat...it has been a great big fun party each and every year!!!!
