April Retreat Part II




Here we ALL are! We really did have a good time. The quilt square competition was especially fun! All were divided into two teams and given squares to be sewn into larger squares for a "disappearing nine patch" pattern. The team with the most squares complete at the end of 30 minutes won. Those machines roared! It sounded like a sweat shop! One of the Bama girls was designated ironer for her team. Alas, the bright colored squares came in second - only one square behind the winners!


The best part - when the squares all get sewn together, they will be baby quilts and given to the Linus Project that our local quild supports.























Cheryl did an outstanding job on her T-shirt quilt - the sashing and border with the stars was amazing.


Cathy put the border on her batik quilt. The picture just doesn't do it justice - it is totally gorgeous - and her own design!
Can't wait for the Fall retreat!
