Dawn
Show and Tell at our SWEET RETREAT at Quilter’s Corner today was alive and well. Dawn started with her spectacular Mariner’s Compass creation – it is absolutely gorgeous. She hand quilted it!!!
Catherine's Halloween Quilt
I love Catherine’s Halloween Quilt – and you will notice that we cannot see her face….that is because SHE IS HIDING….at least she THINKS she is hiding! 🙂
Catherine HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT!!!!
Catherine Quilted her SPiderweb
I can hardly wait to see the embroidered spiders that Ellen made for Catherine when she puts them on this quilt! If she doesn’t STOP hiding she will NEVER get any work done….LOL!
Catherine is still hiding
Dawn's Quilt
Dawn’s quilt is really pretty too…..love the colors! I bet she will hand quilt this one too!
Susan's BEACH HOUSE
And don’t you just LOVE this wall hanging that Susan made….it is SO CUTE……and Catherine made the kite tail…….SOOO IMPRESSIVE!
Catherine did come out of hiding long enough to create a beautiful scarf (in fact she made two)…..I think she called it the NEVER ENDING SCARF – just lovely!
Catherine's Never Ending Scarf
BINDING - FIRST SIDE
I got ONE SIDE of my Grandmother’s Flower Garden Quilt binding finished. I think this is the most tedious task that I have ever attempted. I had to do this in small segments of time – 11 points at each setting. Everyone knows how much I LOVE BINDING and this involved a lot of points in the binding!!!!!
Jared Takes a Wife
I also finished my Jared Takes a Wife top……I love the plaids. This is a Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.com pattern – but without the sashing.
We had a really nice day – lots of giggles, oodles of creative juices flowing – and Mike made us a wonderful dinner – noodle soup, salad, and chocolate chip cookies. YEAH!
We have another day of retreat tomorrow – and it will be lots of fun for sure!
We had THE BEST time this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got sooooooooooooooooo much done, laughed soooooooooooooo much, shared with one another and made new friends, how wonderful life is………………. And I am SO SEW SO incredibly proud that Shirley decided to commit to finishing her Grandmother’s Flower Garden with the hand sewn edge, I KNEW she could do it all along but would gladly have finished it for her just to put the premium icing on her amazing creation – it’s just tutu special, just like my pal who created it………………
