Cool and rainy, doing the applique on my Tree of Life wallhanging. I prepared the shapes by ironing the seam allowances onto the sticky side of freezer paper, and stitching by machine with zigzag and invisible thread.

Retreat!!
Had a great time last week at the LLQA retreat at Pilgrim Park near Princeton, Il - a nice facility in a wooded valley near the Illinois River. We sewed, shopped at Quilter's Garden Quilt Shop in town, ate, napped, chatted; but mostly sewed. I made good progress on three of my UFO's.
This isn't a good photo, but its the layout for the top center of my Edyta Sitar Spool quilt. I did get it sewn together. Now to do the border applique. Our local guild did a swap for the "thread" parts of the spools. For three months we each signed up for a different color and made enough of that color for the others on the list. I was fired up to do the applique as soon as I got home, but first I need to get my churn dash and 30's bowtie blocks done for the LLQA swaps for the June 14 meeting. Hope to finish those by tomorrow.
