Retreat pictures

Debbie has completed a great slideshow of retreat pictures. Be sure to check them out at www.phototd.com. Select 'your story' and password is quilt. There is a link on the right side of the blog in "Related Links" ; they are great and a reminder of the fun we had. As you can see at the top of the page I have a countdown until the next retreat, WOO-HOO.

Trying to plan another retreat possibly in May, let me know if you are interested.

New Design

What you think of my new design. I discovered how easy it is to use the templates and thought it was time for a change so here it is.

Quite a few people have requested a spring retreat so I am researching May, let me know if you might be interested. It will probably be Mon to Thurs as most weekends are booked at Sunnyside; more info to follow in the next few weeks.

Pictures from the retreat

Finally I had time to download my camera and sort pictures so here are a few from the retreat which was already almost 2 weeks ago, so hard to believe. I hope you enjoy them. There will be more to follow courtesy of Charlotte and Debbie. Not sure why they are in such a strange placement but at least they are here. There are some of mystery quilts from last years retreat, quite a few being completed from the birthday block swap and various other projects from the weekend. I have them all labeled in my photo album but that info is not showing here so I'll have to figure out how to do that.

What a great time

I want to thank everyone for the great time once again this year; it is unbelievable how smoothly everything goes. You all make my job so easy. I can't wait until next year to do it all again. As soon as I get my camera downloaded I will post some pictures although I did not take very many. If we can make it work Charlotte has some great pictures that I will post as well.

If you are checking in please leave a comment or even better become a follower. Being a follower does not put you on any lists; all you need is a google account which is free (only takes a couple of minutes) and then I know if anyone is reading what I write.

Talk soon

Retreat------------

Here we are at the retreat and having a great time. More to follow.

1 month until retreat

Can you believe it!! Only 1 month until retreat-now the panic begins....I need to decide what to bring to work on and actually get organized with everything I have to bring. Actually not panic but I am starting to get organized as I can't run home to Innisfail if I forget something so I better have good lists. I am so looking forward to seeing all the regulars and meeting all the new people who are coming.

October here we come...

I can't believe August is over but here we go; can we slow Sept down.

I am so looking forward to the retreat but there is so much to do before then.

Birthday Blocks to sew together, I don't even know where to start. Mystery quilts to finish; I finally got border on but I would like to actually quilt it and I just realized I have never quilted the sample of the mystery that was completed for last year.

I have to finish some samples for some classes I am teaching before i come back to Alberta as well as classes I will have as soon as I get back.

If anyone has any spare time please send it west.
