    The retreat provided plenty of time for everyone to work on their own projects.  I decided on a very difficult approach to my project and therefore made slow progress.  I made some great scraps, though. (I’ll show you the in-progress craziness when I write a future post about said project.) I think Barbie Swanson‘s scraps…
