The Tops Done!!!!

Just finished Alissa & Nick's double wedding ring quilt top at the DVQ Retreat up at Sonoma State University.  Can't believe there's not more piecing to do.  Let's hope it doesn't take as long to quilt and bind.  Anyone have any suggestions for the quilting design?

Diablo Valley Quilters Retreat 2011

My friend Selma and I are hosting this years Retreat at Sonoma State University. The retreat begins a week from today and lasts for four days.

This year should be a lot of fun. We filled the retreat the first night we opened reservations and have not had a single cancellation. I think that's a record! Even when Selma and I started this continuous 14 years of retreats for the guild and we only had 22 people attend, we had cancellations.

I'm planning on finishing my daughter's double wedding ring quilt. And isn't it about time! I know quilting it will take several weeks. Not to mention the binding. I think of all those points! Yikes! But I'm on a mission! I want to start making baby quilts! And I need to get the wedding quilt done first! And if you missed that subtleties, I'm about to become a first time Gramma. We're just so excited. As are the parents of course.

This is our retreat block for 2011. Birds in the Air.
