such a good weekend!

I got home a few hours ago from the quilt guild retreat, and it was soooo fun.  I'm really glad I went.  The kids and DH had a great time "adventuring" together, and I sewed my ass off.  I finished DD's flamingo costume, DS' quilt top and matching pillowcase, made two snack bags out of fabric from my gift bag (they still need to be lined), and got a heap of new ideas.  It was so fun watching all the finished quilt tops pop up throughout the weekend, and holy crap my guild has some amazing quilters in it.  The lodge we stayed at was incredibly beautiful, and the food was amazing.  I slept in both mornings, and even took a nap yesterday.  Glorious!  The only bummer I did not expect was that my poor boobs were really missing DS - ouch.  I ended up leaving a few hours early today to get home to him.  Totally worth it, though.  I can't wait for the next one.  :-)

Glad you had fun. I love looking at quilts. Post pics of your work! My BFF is amazing at all things sewing/quilting/knitting/etc and I can barely sew a button. I'm very jealous of people who quilt and sew.
