Our Quilt Retreat was this past weekend was a great success! Because we have increased our membership since last years retreat, we had to move our Retreat to a larger venue! This place was great, much bigger, lots of large windows, a fully functioning kitchen, cable TV and a separate room for our Licensed Massage Therapist Deedra! Deedra decorated the room with little lights, relaxing music and incense - very relaxing! Our optional program this year was a Mystery Quilt. The quilt was pictured on the cover of the June 2009 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I like it so much, that when I am done with the one I am working on now, I plan on making another from my stash! I was so busy trying to catch up to everyone else that I am afraid I neglected my photo duties - these are just a few of the many, many quilts being worked on!
OK, the pictures below are from the 2009 Quilt Retreat Challenge. At last years retreat we were each given an bag containing 2 fat quarters and we were required to make something using the 2 fat quarters and the sawtooth star block. They could be any size and we were allowed to add as much other fabric as we chose. As you can see, there were several members who participated in the challenge returning this year with their projects unfortunately I was not one of them as my challenge kit is still in the bag it was given to me in buried somewhere in that pit I call a quilting studio . . .
