I have a lot of talented colleagues who also attended the quilt retreat<\/a>. I realized, after I got home, that the pictures I thought I took only were taken in my head. Sigh.<\/p>\n

\"Dolores<\/a>
Dolores 2010 #1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dolores, for whom I made the pencil roll<\/a>, is really making progress in her work. She takes classes deliberately from well respected quiltmakers and works through the techniques and makes it her own. For the past several years, she has worked in neutrals. This year she decided that she was going to add color back into the equation. This piece is from a photograph (right) and some techniques she learned in a class with Caryl Bryer Fallert. Dolores reworked the photo on her computer and then blew up the pattern, transferred it to freezer paper and used Fallert\u2019s method of piecing to create the top.<\/p>\n

Sonja, a new CQFAer was working with FabMo fabrics and just playing. She did a fabulous wave piece that I was really sorry not to have taken a picture of.<\/p>\n

Sue and I are kindred spirits in that we both like to make quick projects in between our larger quilt projects. She worked on totes, scarves AND basted two quilts!<\/p>\n

FabMo<\/a> also has wallpaper -high end wallpaper – and Jan has been experimenting with folded boxes and bags using pieces of the free wallpaper. They are fabulous. She is also working on a piece based on the view of Nebraska from a plane. She worked on embellishing the circles she was making. Jan was sitting next to me and we talked about color, because she is finding her piece too dull. We discussed colors that would fit with her nature theme.<\/p>\n

\"Julie's<\/a>
Julie's Hearts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Julie bought a pack of Moda turnovers and is making a fun and sweet Valentine\u2019s Day quilt. She is trying to limit her need to cut and this was a great way to do it.<\/p>\n

\"Julie's<\/a>
Julie's Hearts #1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is Julie\u2019s quilt before she started on the appliqu\u00e9d hearts.<\/p>\n

Above shows her machine applique\u2019 pieces waiting for their turn under the needle as well as the tools that are required for excellent quilting (glasses, rulers and coffee!). \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"Illuminated<\/a>
Illuminated Manuscript Heart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I thought that the above block looked like one of the illustrations in an illuminated manuscript.<\/p>\n

\"Good<\/a>
Good Color Combo Heart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a nice color combination. I am not sure the computer intermediation shows the subtlety, but it s great.<\/p>\n

\"Skull<\/a>
Skull Heart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We talked a lot about this block, because of the skull. It is the block that shows that relationships can be icky and rocky sometimes. Fun fabric, though.<\/p>\n

Maureen tried the pencil roll pattern and came up with a nice piece using some of her hand dyes and some FabMo fabric.<\/p>\n

Terri worked on getting some tops put together. One was an exchange top that included some really nice batiks.<\/p>\n

Debbie was trying to finish her daughter’s college quilt. She was using some very jewel-y turquoise, purples and other blues. It was very rich looking.<\/p>\n

Kathy is a member\u2019s daughter. We haven\u2019t seen any of her work before this weekend. It turns out that she does wonderful handwork. She is working on this Piece O\u2019Cake design, do it mostly by hand. I like the color choices she made. They are a bit muted, but not murky.<\/p>\n

\"Kathy's<\/a>
Kathy's Piece O'Cake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She didn\u2019t like the scallop border that came with the pattern, so she designed this leaf border on her own.<\/p>\n
