REALLY AMAZING THINGS – Colonial Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild Retreat – Williamsburg, September, 2009
Posted By drsao on September 13, 2009
I know I know – I am always putting things on my list of favorite things – and I am always excited about one thing or another – but just wait until you see some of these things – UNIQUE HAPPENINGS (Amazing Happenings) at the Colonial Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild Retreat in Williamsburg (Sept. 2009.)
We had a SPECIAL GUEST – a HEAD – guest of Hat Designer Robin who was a guest of Kathleen. You should have seen the eyes on guild members faces when they saw the HEAD resting there by Robin’s sewing machine! The HEAD was quite beautiful!

And – almost as amazing – is Mary F. holding one of Augusta Cole’s Confetti Blocks ON POINT……I understand that you will see this set into the quilt in STRAIGHT LINES – no triangles for this quilter! 🙂

Amazing thing #5 – Mary K. made a BLING BLING Wallhanging and her instructions were devoid of words! NO WORDS. 🙂 It was pretty complex too!

Mary A paid Mary K's bill
Amazing thing #7 – Cathy Cutter (not her real name – sometimes you change the names to protect the innocent) demostrated how to cut a piece of flannel – COMPLETE WITH THE FRINGE ALREADY CUT – by simply turning a handle and rolling it through an ACCUQUILT machine……maybe it was an ACCUCUT QUILT……but whatever the name – it was WONDERFUL. Marla was impressed. I am SOOOOOOO impressed.
Isn't this wonderful!!!!

I am sure there were other equally wonderful and amazing things going on in the UPSTAIRS SEWING ROOM – but my camera and its operator AKA sao were downstairs!
