Retreat....


Going to Quilt Retreat is always fun.  The weather will give us all the crazy it can think of, yet we go.  The time we get to spend together and sew, sew and then some more sewing, without any interruptions, priceless.
Kate, has been creating bags, she Quilts as well and creates many works of art.  They have a challenge to them, she will play a bit, then figure out the solution.  
 Tablet covers, the one above have pink velcro and the one below  blue velcro, neat.
We all want one of her creations. She inspired me to try knitting again.  Needless to say, she has got me to do it and to get it right.
Some projects only come to Retreat, it may take a while to finish them, over time they are done.  Lynn has been bringing this project for a few years, this time she finished it, it looks awesome.
Anita has been working on this beauty and a baby quilt.
Stitching at Retreat, a work of art in the making.
Abi is steadily whittling away at this one, working on a dark background is not so easy. It is looking amazing.
Lise was assembling this French General, pieced and embroidered top.
Margaret adding the border fabric to her hexie quilt.
Diane making a quilt for her friend, what a lucky lady.
Joanne's Omigosh getting some more love, every scrap is used.
 Judy made these two tops.
This floral fabric was very striking.
Fabric bowls, with Judy's help a number of these, were made.
I did finish one Christmas present, so it will not be appearing on the blog. The gremlin sneaked in, a number of photos has found a spot somewhere on the computer, not where they were sent to, so apologies to the ladies who I am not showing all your amazing projects, it is missing in action.
Fabrics which followed me home, they are all part of projects which is on going.
 Joanne worked on this Jen Kingwell pattern.

An Irish Chain in the making.
 Taking a moment outside,  it was a beautiful day on saturday.
A Wedding was scheduled for later in the day...

  2. WOW what a retreat, how wonderful that several are able to go each year and catch up with friends and motivation, have to say the Omygosh quilt stole my vote, so many lovely scraps used up, and I love how it is made up in to a quilt top. So glad you made it again this year. Thanks for taking so many photos and sharing them here Maggi it was like reading a very interesting craft magazine with so many different projects. I have a pile of starters and stoppers piling up and so I think I will make them up into Joannes lay out. Hugs Glenda
