PINK SATURDAY & A HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event.

This weekend I'm off to a quilt retreat. A much needed little getaway for "me". I promised myself that I was not going to go to any more retreats or take anymore classes until I finished up past projects. But I broke my promise, I really need a weekend of sewing and no cooking or cleaning.
The classes offered I could not resisit. I will be making a handbag from a placemat at my mini workshop and then I will be making a small Brazilian Embroidery quilt for my weekend class.

The pic above is a project from a previous retreat that of course is still not finished. It's called Brazilian Embroidery. The pic below is the colors that came in the kit but of couse I did mine in pink. By the end of the class alot of the girls liked my pinks and bought the pink pearl cotton before leaving the class.


The next project that I did at that same retreat, is still unfinished LOL, It's going to be a small quilt and it's called Split Heart Applique . Here's just a few of my blocks. All pink of course!

Below is a pic of what the quilt will look like done but of course I did mine in pink. The girls in this class were so cute, they said they will never look at pink again without thinking of me. I was known as the "pink girl" before the weekend was over.

Anyway since I won't be here for Pink Saturday I will be visiting your blogs during the week. I'm so looking forward to this little time for sewing and relaxing with friends. Next week I'll be getting into some Easter decorating and crafting.

Next I have to show you the rest of my St. Patricks decor. Some touches of pink here and there.

I'll just let you browse on through a little tour of my foyer. Please feel free to click on the pic and get a good closeup.

Thank you so much for stopping by! It was so nice to visit with you! Have a wonderful weekend and blessed St. Patricks Day!

Blessings to ya, Shirl
