The retreat was great.  As usual, the food was awesome, the company lots of fun and as you can see by the photos - we got lots of sewing done.

Terry (GAQuiltR) was able to join us for a few hours on Saturday.  Three others came for a day of sewing:  MaryJo, Judy and Leslee.  It was a wonderful time, but all too short!

November 8-11, 2004

 


This is a wall hanging of 12 Days of Christmas - machine embroidered by Butterfly Brenda of Nevada - this was a row quilt 7 or 8 of us took part in. My theme was Christmas and I felt theseJO-IN square were too nice to put in with the cottons and deserved a "place of their own".

Feast of the Le Le


      Here are some photos of my new King size bed quilt made from the slash a stash pattern which I modified and set on point and put randomly pieced borders to reflect the randomness of the blocks.  As you can see from the close up shots, some blocks are solid yellows with blue print borders and the others are yellow prints with solid blue borders.  It made it a little more cohesive and organized as opposed to the original pattern which had "no rhyme or reason to the color layout" which I HATE.       EL (Auntie Em)
