If you can find the YouTube videos Karen McTavish did way back they are great to show you how to do McTavishing. Practice with paper and pencil and do a few sample pieces. Really just figure out your own version of the technique. It is a great way to give open spaces movement.

If I make it to the retreat would you show me how to make the bag with the zipper inside

Can I observe too?

Thanks for the additional info! I have made a few zippered pouches and do know how to "box off" the bottom so the lining won't come out, but I didn't know how to make that big opening.  They could make some cute gits to have on hand at Christmas

That is a really good idea.  Just a general quick gift stash is great!

Your quilt is wonderful and the red cornerstones will make it sparkle just enough!  

I love your sea of a variety of fish!!  The sail boats just peacefully sail along above all that wonderful variety and chaos!!

That's a great theme and such wonderful quilt for a 1 year old boy!!!

My goodness you have been so busy visiting and sewing.  Your quilts are delightful and will be enjoyed by whoever receives them.

Wow, you are becoming such a practiced accomplished LA quilter!

of course!

I have another that I just need to border.  Also 4 teenage boy panels to do for church.  Boys don't like a lot of fancy stuff so I will make them simple.  I keep working to decrease the size of my stash but then I go shopping and can't resist a deal.  Still working on UFO's so I don't leave them behind for others to finish.
