Just to make sure I don't run out of things to do, I'm bringing the following:
One lap quilt in patriotic colors. Already have cut nearly all the fabric, nearly ready to sew.
One batch of fabric in muted blues and greens to make Storm at Sea. Not begun at all, but lap quilt size.
The cashmere stole (for anytime we're just sitting around- I don't need to pay much attention to the lace at all now, more than a third in.
Mystery Stole 4, which I had started but am now re-starting with a different color of bead. They're more like pearls, which will show up a lot better against my burgundy yarn.
Autumn Rose, which is still plugging along.
Yeah, I know this is a quilting retreat. But I tend to use a bit of profanity when I sew- don't know why, I just get frustrated quickly. When I'm knitting, I still get frustrated, but very rarely. Besides, I'm 9 million times more likely to poke myself with a sewing needle than a knitting needle. Finishing the little table topper is proof of that. Although sewing binding doesn't really release colorful language- it takes forever but at least it isn't difficult. The thought of binding a queen size quilt gives me the shivers.
I really did finish it, before 2am, even. Isn't it pretty?
I'll be back Thursday, hopefully with some great photos from the trip! Happy crafting.

where's the retreat? Our little weekend house is on the Northern Neck, near where the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers meet the Bay
That's too funny! The retreat is right there, at Bethpage Camp Resort.
It was SUCH a blast, and so pretty there. I'll be posting about it shortly!
