Our 14th annual "Seven Sistahs" retreat was a bit small this year. We were down 3 Sistahs who were missed greatly, but it didn't stop the rest of us from having fun and being super productive.
I brought only hand work and finished a few things including the April block for Barbara Brackman's (Civil War Quilts blog) bird sew-a-long. I did a bit of fussy cutting to make my eagle so that I did not have too many small pieces. (my blocks finish 9") It worked out better than I had anticipated. 
Karen continued making community quilts with her precious Aunt Marsha's orphan blocks. 
I truly love this one and thinking I might have to make some new orphan blocks!😉 
And, on our last night we enjoyed Kathy's loaded baked potatoes with friends all the way from Australia! What a lovely way to spend our final evening!
Then, Linda and Lizzie and I shopped our way back to Bath for a few days of fun together before they headed to other adventures. 
Linda made this simply gorgeous mini quilt for me and I adore it!
It was hard to say goodbye!
Wishing everyone a Happy Memorial Day!
