Quilting Retreat/Panda Quilt

Well, I actually started the process of packing for the quilting retreat next week. I had to organize my things so my sewing stuff is all together in certain bags and my clothing, bedding, and personal grooming products are all in different bags, because the two things are located in 2 different buildings. I also have to have my name on everything. Needless to say, with packing so many things, it is taking me awhile to get everything labeled too.

Today I counted my kits that I'm taking to work on, and I have 12 ready to start sewing. I'm sure I will not get all of them done, but I assue you I will make a valiant effort. The hardest part is going to be deciding what to do first... such a nice problem to have. Tonight I'm going to work on the blue bird appliqued top and do the sandwiching of layers and get that all pinned together and ready to quilt, so that will be one more.

This little panda quilt is one I did a few years ago for a friend who collected pandas for her hobby. It is all paper pieced and was pretty easy and very cute I think. It was a kit I purchased somewhere (I don't remember where I got it). Enjoy!
