Wednesday Girls Retreat

 

 

Terry and I were honored to be invited to

 

 

  the Wednesday Girls' Retreat in Estevan, Sk this weekend

 

They are a fun group of quilters!!

 

Irene Roy's Crazy Quilt as You Go....

 

Irene is 87 years young and a wealth of quilting knowledge.

 

Her work is always incredible!!

 

Marg's Sand Castles quilt....

 

 

Turned out beautifully!!

 

 

They were giving us a hard time

 

because

 

 Terry and I felt we should be home working...

 

I said I had cows to look after

 

and

 

 look what arrived this morning.....

 

 

Everyone is doing well....despite the cold wind!!

 

TOLD YAH!!!

 

The girls has all kinds of great projects on the go.....

 

Eileen's Flannels from Quilt Patch, Moose Jaw,Sk

 

 

Eileen has her Flock of Feathered Stars organized and ready to go...

 

 

Can't wait to see this quilt!!

 

Angela was working on Magic Squares

 

in Batiks...my favorite!!

 

Terry managed to get some leaves appliqued on....

 

I managed to get the paper pulled off my Mariner's compass..

 

This is a perfect example of why to take pictures during your process...

 

 

Two blue points....Yikes!!

 

after some shuffling I was back on track...

 

Now for some borders....

 

I love the colors...can't go wrong with blue and brown!!

 

This is the paper I found at Staples for paper piecing....

 

2$ for 60 sheets instead of 15$ at the quilt store!!

 

Glad we could spend 2 out of 3 days with the Wednesday Girls!!

Thanks for thinking of us!!

Christa(and Terry)

October already!!

The days are getting shorter and colder...

The insulation was blown in yesterday...just in time for Winter!!

 

Another job I enjoyed...as someone else was doing the work!!

Scrap Squad....

 

 

And it's my turn again!!

 

This one is designed by Carolyn McCormick and is called Turning Points.

 

 

But I took this one into a whole different direction.

 

I started turning the points so they all pointed out and before you know it.....
