Back from our wonderful annual Retreat with Sunshine Quilters. It was a cold rainy weekend up at the Retreat Center in Temecula, but we all had a great time sewing, eating, drinking and spending time together. Sandi brought her Mom, Betty, who came all the way from Maryland.

I spent the time working on Sew Many strips, cutting and sewing 1-1/2 stripe and then cutting them into the units for the blocks- there were many units needed. Below is my first block, with only 60 more to go!
