BACK FROM RETREAT!! -

Well, we're back from another hugely successful retreat -
needing a little sleep probably, but wonderfully satisfied
 with all the work we accomplished!!!!
 I'll give you a little "Show and Tell" of our weekend.

 Anna has issued a "challenge" to make a quilt (small) using triangles in some fashion. Here she is hard at work preparing all sorts of samples to inspire us!!













  Next, Rita, our super-producer,is making a quilt  "Wedding Quilt" for a co-worker who's getting married soon. Don't we all wish we worked with       a co-worker like that!!!








Here's a small portion of that quilt. Beautiful, eh?!!! Of course, we all know Rita will be finished, by, let's see,  10:00??!!

Marilyn, our import from Sudbury,  wants me to note that she is actually working on something
traditional - if you can call working with Kaffe Fasset fabrics - traditional!

 Of course, Marilyn does a gazillion other things, one of which is dying fabric.  So she and Allison gave us two different techniques dying fabric.  Fascinating!!!

This is the fabric in the fridge.













And this is the result!  Fabulous!!!!








                       




Mary shows off the quilt she is working on from a
 Sheila Wintle class she took. We won't tell you when
 the class was, but suffice to say "better late than never"!!






And here's the finished project.  WOW!!!  Good
job, Mary!!


















Linda was working on a quilt for her husband.
Modern Maze is a gorgeous quilt using all grays,
blacks and whites. And that shot of RED!  I think he'll be very happy!!!








Mary's working on a quilt of her own design              for her grand-daughter who is a hockey  fanatic!!!  Mary is actually hand quilting this one.  That's a lot of work!!  

                                         




Allison is VERY happy with her project - paper piecing,
morphing oregami birds!?!?  You have to ask Allison.
Allison moves to the beat of her own drum, you can
tell by the little red wires hanging out of her ears!! :)













Here's Sandra working on a quilt using fabric
she bought about 10 years ago for a workshop
and never used - well, not all of it anyway.  She
finally found a pattern that she thinks suits the
crazy fabric.







And here's that crazy fabric!!  Pretty bright!!

France working hard on Wagon Wheels.
 For her husband, maybe, if he's lucky!!










                                                                                   
                                                                                         And finally, two very important times of the day - tea time :) and food time!!!

It was a great weekend and everyone seemed to have a super time. Good friends, good camaraderie and good quilting!!! What more can you ask for!!! Can't wait for next year!
