Back from the retreat

Here I am, back from the retreat and proud to show the jar quilt that I started AND finished during the weekend! (hanging sleeve and label included!)



The retreat was wonderful; I had a great time. Didn't even miss my boys. Good food, nice company, a bed and a shower and sewing, sewing, sewing!
Apart from the jar quilt I did my homework for the beginners course (sewing the sashings on my sampler) and made a block for the Dutch birthday blocks list.
Here are some pics:



This was very hard (NOT!):



The area was great as well, although we didn't see much of it...



Julie, thanks for organizing the retreat; I enjoyed it very much. I'm looking forward to next year!

The jar quilt is hanging in our living room now; the boys love it (but this one's mine!):



Maybe I'll applique a little hand on the quilt, as someone suggested on this blog. I have to buy fabric first though!
