Our quilt guild has a quilting retreat every summer at Agnes's cabin. I've never gone until this year. I usually just keep my nose to the grind stone and wish I could go. This year I decided I was going! There were 8 of us (well 9 to begin with, but one of the ladies fell down the stairs - ouch! - and went home. Last I heard she was doing better.)
We spent 3 days working on our own projects that we brought, eating, and gabbing (some doing more gabbing than others!) That empty chair on the right is my spot :)
The "cabin" (it looked like a cabin from the outside, but was a very nice home on the inside),was a delight to stay in. I got so much done - I haven't worked on my own quilt top in ages, it was really nice to get away from every day responsibilities and just sew. My very first quilting retreat was a success.
Please read on to the next 3 posts. I had 45 quilts that I had quilted for customers that I'm finally getting put on to the blog here. Since there were so many I divided them into 3 different posts so I hopefully wouldn't have technical issues! Happy viewing :)

Barbara (I have to tell the story of this "Lord's Prayer" quilt. Barbara did not make it, it was made by a little older woman who is now in a nursing home. It is a "postage stamp" quilt, all one-inch squares, all hand pieced. This sweet little woman worked on it for years, and Barbara brought it to me to finally get it finished. The time that went into this is amazing.)
