QUILT RETREAT 2009











Well another fantastic Quilt Retreat has come and gone. I am posting numerous photos from the 3 story lodge where it was held. Just a beautiful setting, but , was disappointed that the trees were not in full color as in the past years. Some said the extra rain this fall and fast cool down brought this about. The view was still wonderful. Being on the lake brought about many surprise visits from different fowls. One day we had a lonnggggg....and I mean very long straight line of white ducks just sitting in a row. Just like the old adage...get your ducks in a row. Couldn't begin to count them all. They stayed this way forever! Then eventually they broke up.
The one photo shows a stone with the word Waubee!. The lake is Waubee.


The first photo is of Deb, with the green sewing machine, that made the neatest (and I know it sounds strange) quilt from her sons boxer shorts. And I add as she stated "they are all clean." LOL

The next closeup in third pix is of Marilyn that does such lovely work and my can she crank out the quilts. Wish I could move as fast as her.

The other photos show some of the other ladies. We had 45 attend this Quilt Retreat. So much fun and fellow shiping.

Hope you enjoyed the photos.
Now is the time of year to begin cocooning. So start your sewing, painting or whatever projects.

Hugs
Susan

Seeing this makes me want to join something like that! I was absorbed in quilting when my daughter was 4 & t, she's now 26. I still have a quilt cut out that I've never made since then. We moved cross couuntry to a very small place where I had nowhere to work. Then, when we finally settled down here, I never got back "into it". :( So glad you had a great time! Denise

Beautiful quilt blocks! I love all the blues and the stars. It looks like a great time for everyone, a lovely setting and plenty of sewing to satisfy the crafters at heart!
