Small Quilt Retreat

The quilting weekend was perfect. The weather was just beautiful (almost a little too warm!) and lovely fall colors surrounded us. Except for the centipedes, things went well (I didn't actually see any but I heard stories . . .). Everyone seemed to have a good time and I was happy to see that many got their quilt tops completed. Here are the photos: (turn on your speakers for the full effect)

    Glad you all had such a nice time. I had a great time too. ND won and it was a beautiful day. Way to nice to be inside. Had I been with you gals I would have had to take a walk and put my feet in the lake. I can sew when it's cold & rainy. LOL!

    Lucky things! It looks to have been great. Was interested to see your Clarissa's Garden Quilt in more detail as I have fallen in love with this pattern. Sadly, I see it is sold out. Have you any plans to perhaps release the pattern as a downloadable PDF? That would be super.
