I am home from our guild’s 3 day retreat, everything is out of the car, thanks to DH, but I haven’t unpacked anything yet. We had a wonderful time, visiting, sewing, show and tell, and yummy food and desserts! I felt so spoiled not having to cook for 3 days! What a luxury!
There were 30 of us and we had a blast and I got to know some new people including a deaf woman. We hit off instantly! I love making connections like that, instant friendships. Our lunches and dinners were catered, from falafel, to street tacos, and huge sandwiches. All of it was delicious plus desserts!
I didn’t finish anything but I did make a few new starts. We had show and tell and what a wondrous delight for the eyes of all the gorgeous quilts! I forgot to take pictures as I was awestruck!
My only regret is that we have to wait a full year for the next retreat!
I will be posting the Bust and Bits Pieces Party either later today or tomorrow morning. My apologies for the delay!
Well, in order to get into my room I have to put stuff away. Amazing how much stuff you take with you and how can all of that come out of one little room?!

Hello and welcome to my website!
My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy.
I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy.
I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs.
I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters.
Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
