"The Retreat"

During the past 14 days, I held a Quilting Retreat with some amazing women, flew 2446 miles, meet up with another group from Virgina, North Carolina, New Jersey and Switzerland, refreshed the body and soul on Sanibel Island , visited my wonderful in-laws in Fort Myers and had a

way-to-short visit with my cousin in Punta Gorda.

 And during all of this, I was lucky enough to be able to do all this with my mother

 and my sister in-law joining in for the warm weather events.

The best way to show all fun things that has been going on,

 is with Smilebox.

This photo album made with Smilebox

Here are a few things that was demonstrated at the retreat.

The Six Sided Pillow

I first knitted and felted the bag.

 And added handles. 

 Then added Fold Fabric Flowers

here is the link for a tutorial.

I made this to be a wine bag.

It is very sturdy!

This is a piece of fabric that I practiced

free motion on.

Added binding and a few pieces of hardware.

And you have a Easy Casserole Carrier.

Here is the tutorial.

So here is just a few things that we have been doing.

I would love to show the project we worked on at the retreat.  But that will have to wait till

someone has COMPLETELY Finished one!

In a few days I will be posting photos from our Sunny Florida Trip!

Till We Quilt Again,
