I had a wonderful time at the Indiana State Quilt Guild Retreat the last week of January.  Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company taught 2 classes and had a trunk show.

1st class was Kindred Pinwheel.  I completed 10 blocks. Have 20 to go...they are all cut out.  These Blocks will be swapped with other quilters that will be at the Quilt Retreat I am going to the end of Sept that is in Nebraska.
2nd class was Dream Weaver.  I finished 42 blocks for this quilt.  They look awesome. next step us sashing.
Before and after I worked on a Quilt-as-you-go project that has been ongoing for a while.  It is placemats but I have decided to make them into a wallhanging for me.  I have wanted a new one for on my wall for a while now.

02-10-18  Artisan Craft Market today.  I took my sewing machine and made plastic bagholders while I was there.  It is always interesting to see what I sell when I go to a craft market.  And...it held true that the most sold item was what I was working on while I was there.  Ha! Ha! Bagholders!
