I attended a quilt retreat this weekend, hosted by
Vicki of Accio Fabrics! Here are a few pics of the attendees:
 |
| (left) Deb is a sure-fire "techie" who's only been quilting for about three years, but she thinks quick and sews quicker! On the right is Disco Jen--Jen made clothes for two kids and place mats for her family using I-spy fabrics. Jen gets more items made in one weekend than you would think humanly possible. We all love the way she makes a mistake and then says "oh well!" followed by something akin to "where's the ric rack so I can cover this up?" |
 |
| Our host, Vicki, making an adorable animal print quilt (of course, it's a commission; somehow Vicki knows people who are willing to pay for the time and work it actually takes to put a quilt together!) Once we start making sewing mistakes and swearing, Vicki says "Hey! Channel your inner Disco Jen and say 'oh well!'" |
 |
| Pat made a beautiful floral quilt and we were all jealous; her attention to detail is unparalleled! |
 |
| Debbie has a great sense of humor and she's extremely adventurous--she started TWO You Go Girl bags. |
 |
| Another Pat--this one brought her drapes, cut them up, and then started a quilt to match. You GO Scarlett O'Hara! |
 |
| This is Carol--she makes the most intricate quilts you've ever seen. They're AMAZING and so is she! (Click and then click again for a great view!) |
 |
This is what I worked on--it's 64 X 64--love those brights!

Ooooh yah! I was waiting for this post. Sounds like there were some great gals there. I hope you had as much fun as you were expecting. What a great treat for yourself.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
PS. LOVE what you worked on. Your addiction to colour is awesome.
ReplyDeletefun, fun, fun!!! I LOVE retreats. Thanks for introducing everyone and sharing all of your great projects. I love your bright quilt...did you get the borders on?
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing the pictures of the retreat and it sounds like you had a truly awesome time there.
ReplyDeleteI must say that your blog is definitely a "feel good" read and even invites a chuckle or two to erupt from me. Thanks for sharing a part of you and what you are up to. Definitely will be back for more.

That sounds like so much fun! Congrats to everyone on getting so much done!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Your quilt looks great.
ReplyDeleteNow if you'll excuse me I need some turkish underwears.
Have a great day : )
This sounds/looks like a lot of fun! I always think I would like to do something like this...but I'd probably end up getting uninvited for the next time due to too much talking and not enough sewing :-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Glad to see I'm not the only one getting visited by the Turkish Underwears :-)
Sounds like fun was had with a great bunch of creative gals. I feel inspired to take care of my own needs when I see so many others making time. Thanks for posting your BRIGHT HAPPY QUILT!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had fun...You all were so creative!

So who did you sleep with this year? I really missed that part of the retreat. Hope you all had a great time, it looks like you did, and love all the beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteIf you're wondering who the living robot is, it's Pattie, my son was signed onto my computer while I was gone.
ReplyDeleteOooh, love the brights quilt~I'm thinking of starting a Patriotic Strips quilt. Never enough hours in the day. I have a giveaway going on now if you wanna pop over~
