quilt retreat 2012

All year long I think about the our next Quilt Retreat, and then, suddenly, it's over! We had a great time again this year in Gimli, Manitoba. There were 20 of us that were able to attend, some of these ladies I only see once a year at Retreat, so needless to say, although alot of quilting gets done, the chatting is the most fun, the food a close second. We get some really great, and filling meals served to us and inbetween the meals they serve us snacks! So we always joke when snack arrives but somehow we manage to cram down those yummy muffins and danishes, too. It was cloudy on Friday but Saturday and Sunday were beautiful sunny days! Even though it was only 12 degrees I had two nice walks on the beach looking for beach glass and nice stones, which is one of my favourite things to do.

             No quilt weekend would be complete without buying a little fabric for the stash!

These are some of the squares I completed this weekend.

Saturday evenings two prize winners, bags sewn from recycled juice boxes and filled with goodies.
