Although there are more pictures at Debbie's site I thought I would post these of the Mystery swap we did this year for the first time. It was a lot of fun and I'm sure we will do it again next year. Each participant was to bring approx $20 value of quilty things in whatever type of bag they chose. As you can see we had quite a variety of bags which made it very interesting. I marked each bag as it came in with a scrap of fabric; each person then picked a scrap of fabric out of the paper bag and found the bag that matched. Everyone was very pleased with what they received. I received a kit that looks to be very interesting-I will post pictures when I get it made (don't hold your breath though as it could be awhile before it makes it to the top of the pile).
Annual Fall Quilting Retreat held at Sunnyside Christian Retreat Centre at Sylvan Lake. This blog is about the quilting retreat which began in 2002 when I owned the quilting store Fabric Fantasy in Innisfail Alberta. Although I sold the store in 2006 the retreat has taken on a wonderful life of its own and continues annually. To see what else I do please visit my personal blog "My Favourite Things" at http://smileyquilter.blogspot.com
