I went to a day retreat at my local quilt store on Sunday. It went from 10 AM to 6 PM but I had to stop around 4:30 because I just ran out of steam.
When I sew outside of my house I like to do cutting of strips because I typically have more room and I like to work on things that require a little more precision using my Singer 301.
While I was at the retreat I cut the rest of the pieces that I need for my 3-D bow tie quilt. I don't mind sewing that one at home on my Janome. I also worked on my Crossroads quilt. I prefer to work on this one on my 301 because it has very small pieces and I can be very accurate on that machine.
Crossroads is a 6 month BOM. I managed to finish the fourth month/round today. The fifth month/round has a bunch of churndash blocks. It's going to take a good bit of time to get this round complete.
We had really good food at the retreat and also a really fun time. Would anyone like to buy a vowel?
I'm linking up with Judy at Patchworktimes.

p.s. My first eye surgery was a success. I'm preparing for the next one on the 18th. Also starting my new job tomorrow.

That top is looking good! Good luck with your new job!
Good luck on the churn dashes and the new job. But we all know YOU GOT THIS!
What a super fun quilt!
I've only been on a couple of retreats and, while I do get a lot done, they are exhausting. I don't know why because I can sew for the same amount of time at home and be ok. Maybe it's the other stimulation. Your quilt is coming along nicely. I love different borders, but especially the thin yellow one. It really brings in a lot of light.
