Throwback Thursday - Bee Sew/Crafty Retreat - Day Two

Welcome to a new edition of Throwback Thursday!!  I'm not taking you back SEW very far.  Only to last weekend and Day Two of the Bee Sew/Crafty Quilt Retreat (hosted at G's Quilt and Craft Retreat.)

SATURDAY, February 1, 2020.

Quilt. Eat. Repeat.

It was a LONG day...

The morning dawned bright and early.  Tiffany was the first one up and at it.  I decided to take a photo of where my day's progress began:

We already missed her first project of the day, but here's the second.  She has caught Scrap Basket Fever:

The cutting and trimming started early, too:

Layered and quilting a Scrap Basket from the giant bag of scraps that Francine brought to share:

This is the stack of fabric that occupied Joy's morning:

Helena's layout is complete:

Subtle, but nice:

More Frolic-ing:

Britt has another block in the works:

Sets of Frolic points for Tiffany:

Joy is cutting thru her white on black scraps:

Britt tried a different arrangement:

Lois is cutting for another project:

Britt's background in place:

Alternate blocks being set in place:

Trouble in paradise!  Alternate background being tested:

Diane is making progress on her 2nd quilt top:

Two more background options for Britt:

Denise's next quilt it underway:

Use ALL the backgrounds, Britt!!  Alas, that's not how she rolls:

Joy's red strips are cut.  Squares from these strips will follow:

Francine's Canine quilt is taking its turn beneath the needle:

Denise is trying to be methodical about her fabric pairings:

Tiffany moves on to her blue cutting...

... Before finishing her Quilted Scrap Basket:

Lois has her Reproduction print squares all laid out:

Joy considers fabric placement for her Sew Together Bag:

Francine's Canine blocks are up on the Sewing Room design wall:

Carol continues quilting...

... While Lois stitches block components:

Free form strip panel to be cut into sashing for Francine's quilt:

And then there were FOUR blocks of Frolic for Britt:

Here, we see Joy trying to visualize how the piecing will form the sections of the Sew Together Bag:

Shown above, Denise's Bionic Gear Bag with an extra pocket.

SEW sweet!!  Carol has finished her baby quilt:

Amazing!  Francine is pressing her completed Canine top...

... As Joy lays out the pieces and parts of her Sew Together Bag:

Very cool design, Francine:

Britt has moved on to agonizing over the sashing sections:

Joy does some stitching on an unidentified project:

Britt tries aqua...

... Then raspberry...

... Then auditions a combination of the two:

Whoops!!  Apparently, Joy abandoned needle and thread for another piece of Tiffany's Instant Pot Chocolate Cheesecake:

Britt continues with design decisions:

SEW many pairs of HSTs!  Tiffany is happily using the Essential Triangle ruler that Joy brought to share:

Denise is trimming up HSTs for another of her many projects:

Oh, wow!  What a dynamic quilt top, Francine is working on now:

Blocks are being added to Denise's collection:

Britt works on a New Shoots block for Joy's collection to send off to Australia for Fire Relief quilts:

Carol is starting a new quilt built around this panel...

... Using the layout of this quilt:

Francine stitches binding, while telling us about her dinner plans:

Britt is attaching leaf after leaf to her background fabric:

Joy couldn't take seeing Britt's unbound Thread Catcher...

... SEW... She found a scrap strip and finished it off:

Meanwhile, Britt completed her contribution for #bushfireblocks and was "guilted" into adding a binding to her (formerly) unbound Quilted Scrap Basket:

Completed baskets for the WIN:

Smile, you two!  Joy is taking an "us-ie", as opposed to a selfie:

Joy has ALL of the squares cut for her next Pecking Order quilt...

... But first, there was another unbound basket to finish!  Tiffany is the lucky one this time:

After dinner, Joy gets busy "snowball-ing" corners...

... White on black prints followed by black on white prints:

Denise with her progress at the end of the night:

Look at this sweet block that Lois made:

Everyone had a wonderfully productive day.  SEW productive, in fact, that more people are inquiring about our next retreat.

Until next time...
The fun continues!!!
