We had a great time....

....at our quilt retreat.
Above is my 60 degree triangle 1 patch quilt that I did there. It's going in my family room and I'm going to back it with denim.
The rest of the photos I will show you in the order that I took them...that way you can see all of the quilts in process before the finish photo!

This is Lucy's stack and whack baby quilt....borders to come.

Renee worked on several projects...this being one of them. A paper piecing project by Piece o cake....(say that 3 times!)

This is Debbie's fall quilt in progress.

Shanna is making a baby quilt for one of her grandbabies....only the applique left to do.

Now she's working on her shabby chic roses....most of the blocks she brought completed and her goal was to finish the quilt top.

Adorable....

Debbie's fall quilt blocks stacked and ready for alternate blocks.

Renee making progress on her paper piecing.

This is the quilt that Juli brought to work on. A pinapple in whites, creams and tans.

She was a little bit discouraged because she felt like she wasn't going very fast but once she figured out her system....she really started to make headway.

This is what Beth worked on. A beautiful fall quilt made from a kit that she brought up.

I love the large blocks....she made 9 of them before she had to leave the retreat early to be with her family....her 19 yr old got his mission call in the mail and she quickly went home (a 5 hour drive) to be there when he opened the envelope. He will be going to serve in Brazil. Yay!

We sure missed her after she left....

My whirlygig blocks that I cut from a layer cake.....ready to press after clothesline stitching on my featherweight.....I leave my Bernina at home and take my featherweight to all classes and retreats....I love to sew with it and have made MANY quilts with it over the years.

Juli is making lots of progress on such a time consuming (but well worth it) pinapple quilt.

Judy pieced this quilt from a kit that she bought on the way up at Red Rooster in Logan. (pics of our visit there to come).....Beth also bought this kit there.

This is Judy's Thanksgiving wall quilt.....embroidery left to do.

Renee's turning twenty flannel quilt to keep her feet warm this winter.........

Lucy got the borders on her baby quilt and now she's working on some very beautiful but time consuming blocks out of Civil War fabrics for her Abraham Lincoln quilt.

Pressing the rows in my whirlygig quilt with my 1930's Westinghouse iron.....I really can't do without it, I take it to every retreat and class that I take.

Debbie has added the alternate blocks to her quilt.

In between other projects that Shanna worked on, she managed to add borders and alternate squares to the dresdon plate blocks that she brought. You go girl!

Look at this..........more pinapple rounds for Juli. You can really see the pattern emerging. Stunning!

Debbie's quilt top complete!

Along with Renee's....it looks comfy cozy.The sashing is being added to Shanna's shabby roses.

She will also add brown to the center of each flower to go with the sashing....buttons? yo-yo's? Applique circles? She hasn't decided yet.

I really adore this quilt. Everything vintage and roses I love love love.

Now Debbie is on to her 2nd quilt....made with a halloween jelly roll.

And her 3rd one, made at the same time (clever) with a Christmas jelly roll.

WOW Juli....really amazing!

Her quilt will eventually be King size (yes, I said king size) with pieced borders to go on her master bedroom bed....a real heirloom. It looks very wedding quilt to me. Perfect.

Yay! Shanna's top complete (except the to be determined later centers)....vintagey wonderful.

And we have completion of Debbie's 2nd quilt............

Renee is back to her piece o cake (and some embroidery).

Debbie's quilt #3. She really got alot done!

My snowball quilt made with 30's charm squares....I still need to add 4 more rows on the side and a pieced border for a twin size quilt....I hope I'm able to get to it before next year's retreat! LOL:)

Center of my whirlygig complete...just need to add borders and giant brown ric-rac. I made this quilt square to go on my Family Room table for fall. The layer cake I used is a new line by Thimbleblossoms....way cute. The line is called "Simple Abundance".

I love the line and I think it looks like the color of fall leaves and blue skies.

I can't wait to finish it and put it on my table with pumpkins, flowers from my fall garden and other vintage goodies.

In Shanna's other spare time, (LOL) she made this adorable pumpkin pincushion from a kit that she bought online from Figtree Quilts. Very sweet.

These are Judy's monster blocks that she finished so far.......aren't monsters for scaring people? These just make me smile because they're so darn cute.
Well my friends, this is the end of the trip. SO MUCH FUN....we of course have already booked for next year as usual.

I will show you the Red Rooster Quilts photos later so stay tuned for a lovely quilt shop visit!
