Quilt Retreat 2016

The Quilt Vine Quilters.

Polly, Chris, Earleen, Candy, Patti, and Lou.

Shirley is missing from this picture.

Last week the Quilt Vine Quilters went on their annual retreat.

Myself, Lou, Polly, and Cheryl spent the entire week with the other Quilters coming and going. 

Who doesn't need retreat? It is so rejuvenating to get away for a week with plenty of time to quilt, connect with friends and relax. Besides sewing we watched movies and put together a puzzle. Having the entire week I don't feel the need to spend every minute sewing. 

All of Lou's projects in the back seat of her car. 

Some of my projects bagged and ready to go. 

We rented a house 20 miles from home. 

We love to rent a house on the water.

Even though it was too cold to spend time outside, we loved the view.

This is the view from the puzzle/breakfast table. 

Yes, can you believe we actually spent time putting a puzzle together?

We also celebrated Polly's birthday.

Beth came to visit us from out of state. 

She cooked for us and helped with some non-sewing.

Here she is tearing paper off of the back of paper piecing. 

The next post will actually contain pictures of projects made at retreat.
