I went to my first ever quilt retreat at the weekend. It was a bit like a cross between a school camp and a work conference, but there was no flying fox and no boring lectures. It was just a weekend of sewing with friends. Fortunately the retreat was still in town, so it was quite easy to get real coffee each morning. I arrived at the retreat at 6pm on Friday night and some people were already sewing up a storm. A number of my friends had taken 3, 4 or even 5 projects to retreat with them. The supportive environment, and lack of family and pet distractions, resulted in some long overdue projects being finished at retreat. Here's a small selection of our weekend work from Instagram. I only took 2 projects. I chose to work on my la passacaglia and a new wool felt applique Christmas quilt. I'm going use this great low volume background with a tiny bit of silver sparkle in it, and add a bit of red with gold sparkle. It won't be all traditional Christmas fabrics, but I do want to incorporate these three above. I cut out all the leaves and birds, and started preparing some of the flowers. I chose not to take my sewing machine, and instead did hand sewing all weekend. I really enjoyed getting to know some of the guild members better, and look forward to going again next year. Here's how my la passacaglia is looking now that I've joined some of the rosettes up: And another section I've just started on: It feels good to be joining up the rosettes, but I'm still a long way from finished. I'm quite slow at choosing the fabrics because I really don't want to have to unpick any rosettes. Therefore I'm taking my time and choosing carefully, trying to balance the colours and patterns. This is how my kitchen floor looks some days:

Through some blog hopping, I stumbled upon selfsewn's blog and saw her beautiful Rose Star blocks. So, so pretty! She's hosting a block party for these blocks and I thought it would be fun to join in! I still haven't finished my last english paper piecing project, but who says I can't start another one? *wink* Here's my practice block. I'm surprised how quickly it came together with all those little pieces. This block is 8" across. It seems kinda small, so I may increase the size on my next one. I think I may like the look of a solid fabric center hexagon better too. I drew the pattern in EQ7. I thought I might be able to find the Rose Star pattern in BlockBase; I didn't find exactly what I was looking for but I found something close that gave me a starting point for drawing. This is block #242 (aka Three Patch) from BlockBase. And it's pretty close to the Rose Star block! So I edited it to the Block Worktable, rotated it 30 degrees (so the middle hexagon would be on a flat edge), and added the needed lines to create the kite patches. And here it is with some solid colors. Here's a peak at the back: I'm excited to make more of these pretty blocks and see the other blocks in block party!
