August 2025 Retreat

I had good intentions to write this post just as soon as I got home from the retreat in August.  How can it possibly be the last day of November?  I'll do my best to correctly attribute photos to the maker.  Sorry If I got yours wrong!  :-)

Syd kicked things off by finishing her Jinny Beyer Moonglow.  This is a fantastic achievement and I got zero photos. If you don't remember what the pattern looks like, here's a link.  

Syd also worked on this one with solids. 

And also this project ... pattern shows the overall design.

Fran brought her beautiful Bargellographix so that she could piece a backing for it.

Kathy worked on a Missouri Star pattern, using rich jewel tones.

Mary Ann brought two sets of Stack and Whack blocks so that she could buy/audition setting fabrics.  We were mesmerized by the flamingo fabric (courtesy of Judy).

Lynn was working hard on two different Pen and Paper patterns.

Karen had a very cute and precise I spy hexie baby quilt top. I am inspired to make one of these someday.

Prudie worked on Stack and Whack blocks from a beautiful tropical bird print.

Susie was piecing soft, pretty stars.

Someone was binding this quilt but my memory fails me.

Somehow I didn't capture what Gwen was working on but, possibly, this was her binding project.  Love that backing.

Dianne was making a beautiful yellow, green and blue quilt.

Stacks of fabrics, ready to be cut.

This was another binding project. I believe Karen was finishing it for her niece.  Not a great shot.

Jan was working on I spys and, also, these two really cool Kaffe projects.

I brought only a couple of projects.  First, some die cut log cabins donated for a charity quilt.

I also worked on my Sherman in pajamas blocks.  Here's a photo from a retreat this month where I got all of the blocks finished and put together.

As a special treat, Dianne brought a gown that she wore to an inaugural gala.  It was an amazing piece.

Of course, we always have to review our shopping hauls.

Thanks to Jan, as always, for being our selfie expert who can manage to squeeze us all into the shot.

Thanks to everyone for a great time! Looking forward to January!
