Retreat!

Our forces gathered.  We loaded our equipment. Drivers and troops entered the vehicles and off to the country we retreated for an overnight, nothing but quilting, getaway.  

The retreat center is a work-in-progress begun by the son and daughter-in-law of one of my quilt ladies.  Though the facility is still lacking finishing touches, it is a great workspace with all the necessary amenities for all day quilting fun.
  
We each had our own table--plenty of room spread out all our fabrics and supplies.  There were also a couple of design boards, an area for ironing, and one for cutting.  The chairs were comfy and had wheels, so we could maneuver around quite easily.  

A full kitchen made meals quick and easy.

Here is my space.  The proprietors had several Ott lights available, so we had excellent lighting in our workspaces.

And here are some of our projects.  K finished binding off one of our group quilts.

B had this wonderful wall hanging of Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

N was working on this project.  Love the fabrics. 

D started on a cute baby quilt.

W worked on a charm quilt.  Really pretty.

P began a quilt for her granddaughter.  Great colors.

L put the binding on a quilt for a soon to come great grandbaby.  I did the quilting on this one and will have more details on it in another post.

P helped with the binding on this group quilt.  

K used a curtain panel to make this sweet group quilt.  

 S made this lovely Christmas table runner.  

We had lots of fun, lots of quilting, and lots of fellowship.  We will definitely have to plan to do this again.  Retreat!
