I LOVE the quote about the galloping horse, haha, and I am definitely going to remember it in the future. So many quilts to chose from to work on sounds soo good. A 3 day quilting retreat sounds like a wonder. Just thing of all you'll get done, and the friendships you'll make with women of similar minds and hearts. I would love doing such a thing...maybe some day. I know you'll enjoy it!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-45277454202023613432014-06-08T18:18:24.234-05:002014-06-08T18:18:24.234-05:00Ah, seems like you had a perfect weekend!

I felt the same way when I made my pyramid quilt, pick out stitches twice and then Que Sera Sera. Love the fabric for the pillows it will look fabulous with the chevron quilt. I have never heard of a large block pineapple quilt sounds interesting.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.com
