Friend's, Food & Fiber
As with all retreats there is no shortage of food & drink!
A wine that we enjoy is Apothic "Dark" which is a limited edition.
I know that bottle looks lonely on the table but I brought 2 more!

Great gift during this Spooky Season!
Buttons cookies!
Hubby suggested next time to use licorice as the thread.
He is quick learner!
Also made some Button Chocolate Pops.
Looks like I was on Button kick for this retreat!
These are only a few friend photos.
More to come when I post the Show & Tell next time.
Shopping!
Pink A Dot Quilts blogspot meet up with us at
Burkholder's Fabric. Kelly is the one that has turned my eye onto low volume prints. There is a art to using these fabrics and she has mastered it! If you can visit her blog!
in Helen fashion I had to pick up low volume in a darker version.
This is when photos do no justice.
These are a silk blend that add sheen & richness to a quilt top.
I do have plan for these!!
And Chelsey from Nini & The Sea found the backing-isn't it perfect?
These fabrics scream my name!

WHat fun you had. LOVE all your fabric choices!! So many people on retreats lately...I'm jealous...but sure do enjoy reading the posts!!
ReplyDeleteYummy looking cookies! (Do you have a particular recipe?)
ReplyDeleteGreat cookies and looks like a lot accomplished as well.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had an absolute blast! A little green with envy ;) Love the fabric! All.of.it! haha umm.... not to add to your addiction but have you seen RK's new wide backing? . . . fabulous! I got some from Hawthorn's, I'm sure you could get it elsewhere but it has YOUR name written all over it! http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/robert_kaufman_house_designer/spot_on_wide/spot_on_in_black
ReplyDeleteI think quilting retreats are the BEST! Love the button cookies. They look super yummy (good idea with the licorice...). I'll see if I can find some of that Apothic Dark. I have like their other wines. And I really want to try some of the RK radiance--it looks very interesting. I got the license plates from both CA and MN so I'm going to make 'sew together" bag with them.
