4 Days of Quilting


Thursday morning I left home for a 4 day quilting retreat. It was held at a beautiful resort in Delavan, Wisconsin. Before my friend, Linda and I arrived at the resort, we stopped at two quilt shops along the way. Of course, I found something to purchase at each one. Once at the resort, I got to meet lots of old friends and some new ones too. It was such a pleasure to be able to share a love of quilting with so many others. The great thing about a retreat is the fact that everyone brings their own projects to work on, so you get lots of new ideas. You also receive feedback on your own projects. There is always something new to learn. I had a wonderful time and can't wait for next year's retreat. This table runner was my first project. I didn't have a pattern, so it took me a lot longer to complete. I had trouble figuring out that outer border of squares on point. A math whiz I am NOT! It still needs to be sandwiched and quilted, hopefully before Thanksgiving.

Very nice Karen. Retreats are a great thing. I still remember our good times at Kay's.
