Doesn't this look peaceful?

The perfect place to start my summer!

With great friends, food, drinks, music...
and of course our sewing machines!

I had a wonderful weekend with my quilty friends. We worked on many projects and some were even finished!
We sometimes have a theme for our retreats just to make the party a little more interesting. This time around it was 50s & 60s. We had delicious hamburgers and milkshakes for supper Saturday night.
Elvis was definitely with us on this retreat!
Here are some of the projects we worked on:
 |
| My mom's scrap quilt. |
 |
| A Tote Bag Pat made for her friend. |
 |
| Pat's Granny Squares |
 |
| I started a Log Cabin Quilt for my 4 year old. |
 |
| Cheryl worked on this quilt for her sister. |
 |
| These are Dale's friendship blocks. Each of us made one of those blocks. |
 |
| My mom's tumblers. |
 |
| Pat made these Tote Bags for a Fundraising event. |
 |
| Dale assembled the top of this gorgeous Christmas Quilt. |
 |
| My mom pieced her hand embroidered snowmen blocks. |
 |
| I made this little wallhanging from start to finish, in 2 days! |
We were so efficient with our sewing that the days just flew by and we couldn't believe how much work actually got done!
Thank you Royal Cottage Quilters for a perfect start to my summer and to Pat and Victor for the use of their beautiful summer retreat!
