Retreat Time is coming.....

If you're looking for more time to sew, day slots are still open for The Grand Rapids Modern Quilters first retreat.  Remember?  This is the weekend, for those of us staying over, on Lake Michigan!  If this Michigan weather holds, it should be gorgeous for both sewing and walking the beach!  If you're interested send a Messenger message via Facebook to Kathy Nelson.  GRMQ has a Facebook page.

Since the retreat is Halloween weekend, I have some Witches Brew and special paper plates just for the occasion.  I'm making a travel bag for my mats and rulers, fashioned after a large Costco freezer bag.  Will let you know how it turns out later this week.....

The Stitched Studio Beehive meeting is Monday....this group is so much fun!  The amazing combinations of fabrics is inspirational.  Here's my block.  Danielle allowed us to choose two fabrics from her stash (what a great way to use fabrics) and instructed us to add a solid or a metallic fabric.  I have no metalic, so I stepped out on the pink.  She is decorating her sewing room to be very girly!  Had to be a pink, right?

We share our photos on Instagram during the month.  Instagram is another new technology app that is fun and so much easier than Facebook.  Just post pictures, with or without hashtags* (specific identifiers).  Look for us, Stitched Studio GR Modern Bee, on your tablet or smart phone! I follow NatGeo and the ISS (international space station)...amazing photos everyday.

If you were raised thinking your house had to be clean before you could settle into sew, the following may be the blame....enjoy!

Have a great day!

*  In case you wonder if I ever proofread, I do try.  Today I did catch an autocorrect....hastags became hostages!  LOL
