Retreat Mini Project


Can't believe it'll soon be time for this year's retreat. The new location should be nice with
plenty of room for everyone to spread out...which I SO like to do, as anyone who's ever sat next to me will agree.

Hope everyone has finished up last year's mini project, and will remember to bring it along to share. I've been selling my pattern at a couple of local shops and will be teaching it each of the three days of this year's Wisconsin Quilt Expo. Coming up with something new for the retreat every year and having a deadline is just the kind of pressure I need to get things done. If you'd like to see more of my quilts and other artwork, check out my blog at tisha-tsblog.blogspot.com.

I'm busy working on this year's mini project and it's going to be something totally different. Again, we'll be using my original pattern and some of Barb and Diane's beautiful hand-dyes. The pattern can be made up to look anything from more subdued and traditional to totally wild and funky...but that's all I'm going to tell you for now.

Hope to see you at the Expo, and oh, here are a couple of Barb's creations from my pattern.

QuiltsbyBarb made ETSY Front Page Last Night!

The treasury ‘Ahhh’ created by theApple made it to the Front Page of Etsy last night around 9:30. It was so exciting! I actually got to see it up there for an hour! Not only was my Teal Tree Top Tote Bag up, but so was my Aunt Barb’s True Miniature Rag Quilt! What a great way to end the day!
