Chick, chick here and a chick, chick there . . .

 These cute little chicks will eventually end up in a wallhanging with one more chick but for now they are living on my design wall awaiting borders.  The pattern is All Cooped Up by McKenna Ryan.  I used Minkee for the chicks and it gave them a soft, fuzzy, "just-hatched" look.  

  

Welcome Retreat

Three days of sewing, laughing, sewing, laughing and more sewing and laughing along with nine talented women - how can you beat that?  We all made Casey B. Bags (Dancin' Daisy Designs) and lots of other projects.  I learned how to make fabric bowls/baskets and have made Easter baskets, a table runner and several potholders for gifts.  Fun was had by all and we are already planning our next retreat.
