Happy Sunday Everyone!
It is my favorite day of the week because I get to see what all of you have been up to with your scraps.
I am also excited today because I can announce that I am going to be an instructor on a scrap retreat Yes, you can grab a friend and a pile of scraps and spend three days with me turning those scraps into some lovely quilts.
The venue is at the Stars Aligned Quilting Retreat. It is located here in Eugene Oregon. There are two lovely houses with wonderful room choices. And a really nice crafting studio where we can let the scraps fly!
The dates are Thursday September 19th through Sunday September 22nd.
Thursday evening I will be sharing my scrap quilts and discussing my inspiration, design choices and how I store my scraps.
The fun starts Friday morning as each student starts evaluating their own scraps and identifying the best scrappy design and color scheme for the scraps they have. Yep! Everyone is going to be making a different quilt designed specifically for the scraps they have!
Once everyone gets going, I will leave you to the sewing and be back Saturday morning for any further assistance. Maybe I will come back to some finished quilt tops!
You can read more about the event here. I would love to meet some of you in person.
I think it is going to be a whole lot of fun!

Those will be some lucky quilters who get to learn from you! Those are some of my favorite quilts of yours and they'll make a great trunk show!
How exciting! Too bad, I'm far too far (France is... well, far). Enjoy your retreat and teaching!
I love all the quilts you show!
That sounds like so much fun!! You will be able to share your knowledge, quilts and ideas with so many people and they will soak it up!!
I can hear your excitement in your post. It's gonna be so much fun!! and I would love to go but since I'm live in Ontario, Canada, it's kind of a long drive ... so I'll pass. :^( I so love what you do with your scraps and orphan blocks; I would love to hear what you think and how you see my scraps. Just too bad. I hope you'll take plenty of pictures. Enjoy! ;^)
I'm SEW sorry that I won't be able to fly cross-country for this event. I would LOVE nothing more than to spend time quilting with you, Cynthia!!!
