Once a year I have the opportunity to get away with my darling quilting friends for a 4 day quilt retreat. We rent a huge condo in the mountains and sew, gab, sew, eat and sew.
What a fantastic time. Some years we get alot of projects done and some years we don't. But no one cares, WE HAVE FUN!
This is the view we had every night.
We found this cute little door sign in one of our quilt magazines. The fine print says: unless you are delivering fabric or chocolate. Cute, Cute.
Winter table runner that I designed. I will be giving out instructions in a couple of days.
Fall table runner out of same pattern.
We made oven mitts that really work. We also made aprons with attached wash rag to wipe your hands. Isn't that a clever idea? Thanks to Lela for that wonderful idea.
We also felted wool to make our own pincushions. It was such an interesting process. They all turned out beautiful. I just need to embellish mine now. Thank you Betsy.
We also make cake plates. How creative. Dinner plates and glassware from a second hand store were used. Just a little glue and presto, a lovely cake plate.
Shelto, Stitch, Corrie, Lela, Judy, Johnboy, Karebear, and Betsy on top. Our photographer Des was going crazy taking pictures.

You Rock! Cute tablerunners, I missed seeing those. I need to read more. Did you talk about your dish towels? Hey, speaking of dish towels where is my project!? :-) Take care!
I think I am Jimbob. Who knows with Des! It was so nice to meet you! Thanks for a great time at the retreat. I am looking forward to making the Wonky Triangle pattern. I love your tablerunners that you did. Thanks for everything!
Hey, awesome pics!
I am wondering if you have a pattern or a tutorial for the apron with towel attached.
Thanks
Just wanted you to know that I love the tute on your Levi apron! What a great idea! Also, I am a nurse, too, and have a drawerful of those retractable badge/time clock thingies...what a good way to put them to use!
