Terry and I managed to fill my truck up
with
everything but the kitchen sink!
We were off to Circle Square Ranch for our fall retreat!
Even though my heart was really in Houston
at the debute of Bob Ross/ Cherrywood Challenge
But thanks to my friend, Jymmi Kaye Demchuck...
She took me with her in spirit...
Bob and I.....
Jymmi Kaye shared her cookies with me
as
she showed me her class projects each night...
She also took my copy of the book
to
have it signed by the other winners!!
Can't thank her enough for allowing me to be in both places at the same time!!
Retreat started Thursday and ended on Sunday!
25 of us quickly got set up....
It's incredible to take one box of pieces
to create a master piece in no time!!
We had amazing show and tell!
Bonnie....
Collette's bargello
and Falling Stars...
A couple of baby quilts...
Colleen Koot made a doll quilt....
This is another Tannis Fahlman pattern.
It was the Mystery for the Regina guild last year.
Colleen used fabrics from travels to make this beauty!
Colleen made some seasonal pieces...
and this duvet cover of wild animals
Deb's was a work in progress still...
We were very honoured to have this young lady back!!
Dot Lawrence is 84 years young
She had had a tough year.
She broke her right leg and wrist in a fall early this year.
She spent a long time in recovery.
Just as she was getting up and running again,
she had a brain hemorrhage.
We were blessed to have her just released
and
able to spend the weekend with us!!
She spent alot of time under this quilt this year!!
Heather P did a fabulous job with her Canada quilt...
Heather is a machine!!
Seh pumps quilts out left and right!!
She even quilts them herself and gets them all LABELLED!!!
Jane finished this cute log cabin quilt...
Margaret....
Margaret is an inspiration beyond for me.
She is 87 years young and her taste is stellar.
She makes Laura Heine patterns into works of art!!
This was her own design using Laura's techniques...
Her Elm Street is just amazing!!
It looks like a panel but it's all cut out of other fabrics to make a picture!
Sandi had quite a few finished from our last retreat.
Sandi and I LOVE Shabby Fabrics Quilt Store.
This was some ombres from that store!!
Though the Y seams nearly put her over the edge!!!
Chris made this black and whites!
Donna's Fire Escape in Batiks!
