Ready to go on 3 day quilt retreat

I have been very busy getting ready to go on quilt retreat next weekend.
Three days of peace and quiet (except for the hum of sewing machines)!
I have four projects I am taking but mostly I want to get the top finished of the quilt i have designed.
I also have the civil war quilt for my daughter ready to put together, cut 392 1 1/2 in squares today ...
that is a LOT!!
I am also planning to go to quilt festival in Houston this year, missed it the last couple of years but am not
going to miss it this year.
Will post pics from retreat next weekend...

My sewing buddies

Sometimes I wonder how I get any sewing done with all the "help" around me! The cat is bobcat and he often sits on the back of my chair as I sew to get closer to the birds! He is such a rascal.

First two blocks done!!

Thought I would share a picture of the first two blocks I have done for my hubbies quilt. I have all the log cabins cut and will be sewing a lot more this weekend. I hope to have all the blocks pieced before my retreat that starts Oct first. I cant wait to see this quilt come together.
