The CQFA<\/a> Quilt Retreat was this past weekend. Dolores did a great job organizing it. We went to a new place and it was wonderful. There was a bakery nearby which baked gluten free pastries in addition to regular pastries. That was a really nice treat!<\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>
My Creative Mess<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Above is my workspace, which I shared with Julie<\/a>. You can see FOTY 2010 in progress. Sonja and Debbie were in the back. The share table is in the middle.<\/p>\n

\"Terri,<\/a>

Sue set up in a corner and made a whole Moon over the Mountain quilt while Terri worked on a Ricky Tims style quilt.<\/p>\n

\"East<\/a>

It never ceases to amaze me how much of a mess I can make when given the opportunity. My workspace is right at the bottom of the photo. I worked hard over the weekend, so it must be ok. Dolores was in the far corner with Maureen and Robin at the table between Dolores and mine.<\/p>\n

\"Bron<\/a>

Bron and Virginia couldn’t stay and work with us for the weekend, but they did come for the group dinner on Saturday. I love this picture. It shows what lovely people they both are.<\/p>\n

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

At the same time I cut the FOTY patches all year, I have also been cutting Tumbler patches for Julie. I think she mentioned liking that shape and I took it upon myself to cut patches for her. I don’t remember exactly how it all came about, but it sounds like something I would do.<\/p>\n

It was fun to see the same fabrics that I was working with on my project. Julie worked on sewing rows of her Tumbler quilt together. She is making it for her bed. At one point she laid it on the floor and we laid down on top of it to test and see if the size was large enough. No cameras were available to catch that moment. I was hoping she would sew all the rows on, but she got tired of it after awhile and worked on some different projects.<\/p>\n

\"Another<\/a>
Another View of Julie's Tumbler<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We declined to have Julie crawl on top of table or chair to show the whole piece. It is quite large and above is a different view.<\/p>\n

\"Nancy's<\/a>
Nancy's Needle felting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nancy was making a needle felted scarf. I don’t know if she finished, because I don’t know that much about needle felting. I really liked the design she was working on.<\/p>\n

\"Birthday<\/a>
Birthday Gifts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Julie also gave me some birthday gifts! We spent a happy hour looking through the two books and talking about the craziness of some of the piecing. She gave me a really nice card, too. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
