A Retreat brings projects forward!

Last weekend I went on a quilting retreat with 3 friends at the beautiful North Bow River Lodge.

Here's our room


The lodge is right on the river, great views.



But the BEST is the wonderful food, appearing regularly, so that we could just sew our little hearts out!

I finished piecing the top of MIL's quilt



and I still had time to make two Swoon blocks. Oh, I love them!








Mary was quilting her blue quilt


and she found time to make these stars and the string blocks (Terrain, wow!)


Marilyn pieced two quilt tops



Yvonne's quilt top is together too!


Altogether a very fun and productive weekend!

  14. Those Swoon blocks are just lovely! I don't know exactly what it is, but I love seeing those blocks, and I just want to make them all the time when I see them. But, I think I had better wait until I get a few of my other plans out of the way.
