Sewing retreat with Mom!

Well I'm back from my Two day sewing retreat that turned into three days at my mom's! We banished Dad for those days.
Here was day one chef salads and a couple beers.
Here is what happens when fabric is not contained in the sewing cave.


Now I remember why I like the freedom of liberated quilting. Following instructions is not my thing. So mom read the recipe and I cut.


They are not quilt finished, need a flower and leaves on top and to be filled with bird grit. This little pin cushion piece of cake was NOT a piece of cake to make.



So after following the rules on the cake we decided to play with some new applique patterns by Florine Johnson Designs www.florinejohnsondesigns.com . This one is Radical Rooster Rowdy. MY mom did this one .


This one is Radical Rooster Rock I did him. Now you know why fabric was scattered everywhere as we were trying to find just the right "feathers" Funny how mom went with the bright colors and I was the one that went with more understated colors.

We also talked and watch TV and went shopping and ate and ate and had a great time. I'm so glad my mom is my best friend.
