Next week starts the 2 week white tail rifle deer hunt here in Michigan. Living in the northern part of the state it is a big deal to many people including my husband and our two sons. Many people have a hunting camp where they go to relax, hunt, eat, drink adult beverages, play cards and shoot the bull. We don't have a camp but my guys like to get together at my brother-in-laws to chat, share stories of their day in the woods and eat a few meals together.
For several years now our Quilt Guild has held a Doe Sew, a quilter's version of a deer camp. We gather in the morning with our sewing machines and a specific project or we can work on our own projects. As with any "deer" camp we always have lots of food (pot-luck) and lots of chatter and laughter. This years project was a really cute snowman wall hanging. I decided not to start another project right now so I worked on my log cabin blocks. It is very scrappy and I am using 1 1/2 inch wide strips. I am not in any hurry to finish this quilt so it is a perfect project to travel with.
Speaking of traveling, I am packed to head to a 3 day retreat tomorrow. I am not taking the log cabin project but I did pack 2 UFO's, both mystery quilts that I started while working at Thunder Bay Resort. I am hoping to have both of the tops done before I come home. I also threw in a few smaller projects just in case. I am always afraid that I will run out of projects so I always over pack when going to quilting retreats.
