Packing and Planning~

The packing part~

Only half of what is going. ;-)

My bags are getting packed and I'm getting ready to go! :-) I'm off to a retreat this weekend. It is a 'working' retreat and I have lots of projects to keep me busy! Probably too many, but better that than not enough, right? And after that, I am hitting the road to deliver this quilt. :-) So you may not see much of me in the next few weeks, but I'll have a great show and tell around the beginning of May, so be sure to come back!! :-)

The planning part~

My friend Bonnie at Nap Time News and I have been plotting and planning a block exchange for a CW quilt for almost a year.  :-)  The emails fly back and forth furiously, then we get busy with other things, and we slow down, then they start flying again. Well this past week they have been flying fast and furiously! We both got our new issue of Quiltmaker magazine and both loved the same basket quilt! :-) A perfect place for our CW stashes.  We are both a little leary of applique, but we've decided its time. :-)

I worked on a test block last night~  and hey!~ applique wasn't so bad! lol
Whoohoo, I love when a new plan (and quilt) come together!

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!
