It is a little hard to tell from the picture, but the leaf is a burgundy red with lime green veins. I never had thought of this combination, but now, I'm thinking I need to make something using it.

Inspiration
Inspiration comes from so many places. One that I found at Quilt Retreat was this:

More Retreat
I have a some more to tell on the Retreat. As the theme was Quiltaholic Retreat, I made some table decorations following along that line. I totally forgot to take pictures, but as I was starting to disassemble them, I took a picture to share.
There were six jars in total. I had a saying on each jar with like items in the jar. The sayings on the jars were:
You may have a Quilt Addiction if you save salvages. ( example,: jar contained salvages.)
You may have a Quilt Addiction if you take little pieces of fabric scraps and make new fabric.
You may have a Quilt Addiction if you save the cut off triangles from making other blocks.
You may have a Quilt Addiction if you decorate you gift bags with scrap strings.
You may have a Quilt Addiction if you save narrow strings (3/4 to 1 1/4 to make string blocks.
You may have a Quilt Addiction if you put fabric in canning jars and call it a decoration.
This was the view from the Retreat window. What a wonderful place to be. When I look at this picture, it takes me back and I feel so relaxed!

Hello!
Hello! I've made it back. Last weekend I went on Retreat with Quilts From The Bluffs. What a great time!
Our theme was Quiltaholic as you can see from the picture. Our ice breaker for the first evening was to introduce ourselves and tell what part of quilting we are addicted to. It was so interesting to hear and to know at one time you were addicted to that same part or that you are on your way to being addicted to something listed. Such as precuts, scraps, batiks, lime green fabric.. The list goes on!
I also finished 10 more blocks for "Hard Tack and Coffee" and finished 2 pillow cases. It doesn't seem like much, but we had so much fun!

I made these little pouches.
Twenty one in all.
They are very easy and so much fun! These pouches are for the Wings of Hope Survivor Dinner the end of October. Every year my friend Patti and I make little gifts for the Survivors.I also finished 10 more blocks for "Hard Tack and Coffee" and finished 2 pillow cases. It doesn't seem like much, but we had so much fun!
