My pictures from retreat

I have attached a few pictures from the retreat; Debbie's are much more extensive so make sure you check them out also.

Mystery quilt. Hopefully everyone brings their completed one next year and we will do photos of all of them.

Black & White Strip-twist

Scrappy Strip Twist

As was explained in the demo the Strip Twist pattern is provided free of charge by Bonnie Hunter on Quiltville.com. She has a lot of great patterns as well as great ideas on how to deal with scraps as in sorting and using. Be sure to check it out. There is also a new mystery on her website starting soon. This will be scrappy and mostly uses 2 1/2 strips; you may want to check it out.

New Retreat photos

We have a new slide show of this years retreat pictures.

Thank you so much to Debbie for being our official photographer, the pictures are great.

The link to the left is updated - follow the instructions and have a look. In 11 months we will do it again.

Another successful retreat!!!

Thank you everyone for another great retreat. I am back in BC for the winter and although it is raining today it is 11 above so not too bad. Planning underway for next years retreat; it looks like we may be full very soon. I will post pictures here as soon as possible as well as updates regarding next year. If you come to check out the blog, please leave a comment so I know if anyone is looking.

Talk soon.

36 days and counting

I can't believe how fast time is flying now. Only 36 days until the retreat. I thought I was so organized and now I am remembering all the little things that need be done and it seems like very little time. I hope the weather continues to be good until after the retreat, that will make it so much more enjoyable and relaxing for everyone. Back to cutting mystery quilt kits........

Countdown On

Only 45 days left until the retreat, that seems amazing. I knew it was close but that really sounds short when you put the number of days in. Is everyone ready? I know some people have been ready for months and the rest of us will panic the week before but I am so looking forward to seeing everyone.

More mystery quilt

Most of the instructions are typed up and pictures photocopied, now to verify amount of fabric needed and then I can let you all know. I need to cut another kit to make with you at retreat so we have examples in progress.

Mystery Quilt

The Mystery quilt top in Finally finished, very interesting but was becoming a mystery for me. I hope everyone enjoys it. Now I have to figure out exactly what I did so I can calculate amount of fabric, precutting and write the actual instructions. Let the fun continue.
