This was my work area ↑
Yes, organized and neat. But, seriously, ALL WEEKEND!?!! (This was only stopping to eat, someone else fed us and cleaned up) and, still, all that I accomplished was this

Groan. I must be slowing down... 😧
Those gathered made these heart pillows as a service project for the NICU at a local hospital, these will be presented to Moms who aren't able to take a baby home with them. Something to fill ther arms and clutch close to their chest. I get weepy just thinking about it.
All those assembled had beautiful projects to work on, I was inspired by each and every one.
This bag of leftover scraps from last year's projects has been weighing on me. I cut up what I could and wanted to keep but just couldn't ever seem to get to the bottom of this bag. I offered it to Lynnleigh, she immediately said "yes, PLEASE"! I was tickled. I'm not sure what she's going to do with it and I look forward to finding out; but, right now, for me, out of sight is out of mind! I can move forward with a clear conscience.
Now that Cream and Sugar is a full-fledged flimsy I am looking at backing fabrics.
I think it would make a lovely spread on our bed for the summer...onward and upwards!
Life is Good!

Cream and Sugar is gorgeous (I'm not sure you're slowing down, those blocks look a tad fiddly from here). Hooray for Lynnleigh wanting the scraps. I suspect if I made that kind of offer to Young Man he, too, would say yes, please. We're blessed with awesome grands.
Beautiful quilt! So glad you got it to a flimsy.
I led this BOM at my LQS and taught it in 2 color ways. Quite the project!
What a great name for your beautiful low volume quilt!
I find that no matter how organized I am at a retreat, it is still not the same as sewing at home where everything is handy, and I only take a couple of steps to get things that aren't in drawers or on surfaces right next to me. So that is my excuse for not getting as much done at retreat as I expect, but if you want your excuse to be that you are slowing down, then own it. ;) Either way, it is a lovely top!
Oh, those heart pillows are a lovely gesture, but it makes me sad to think of Mom's who have to face that hard situation.
I will be interested to know what Lynnleigh does with your bag of scraps, when you have news to share of her adventures from the scrap bag.
I enjoyed seeing your sewing friends and their lovely projects
. Cream and Sugar is so pretty. Keep pressing forward with it.
