I went to my first quilt retreat last weekend. I had so much fun! To see what I did you can see
yesterday's post here. Mary Lou brought this awesome string quilt to share, isn't it gorgeous? Here is another quilt she made, I think it was called a half log cabin block. All of her quilts are scrappy.

| I love the jalapeno fabric on the back! |
She made string diamonds this weekend also. She made more, but these are the ones already sewn together.
Did I mention this was a people powered sewing machine quilt retreat? Everybody used either treadles or hand cranks!
 |
| This is Dorthy's memory string quilt she basted this weekend also. |
 |
| Don't you love this Vesta all the way from England? |
Valerie, my new English friend made this adorable paper pieced Sunbonnet Sue phone case this weekend.
 |
| Don't you love this this bunny fabric? Margaret worked on a quilt, the yellow brick road, using only bunny fabrics she has been collecting for 20-30 years! |
 |
| This is her Davis Vertical Feed, there are no feed dogs, the foot works kind of like a walking foot. She says it sews like a dream! |
 |
| That is a lot of bunny fabric! |
 |
| Here is her rail fence quilt she also basted this weekend. |
 |
| I love Allison's Straight legged treadle. |
 |
| She finished the top of her Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, Easy street. Don't you love the colors? |
 |
| We had three of these quilts! I love the piano key border and the scrappy pastels! Sue is making one above, it has a black background with bright colors and looks totally different even though it is the same pattern! |
Here is another one of the same pattern, laid out and being pieced together, she used a bright orange for her background. All three are the same pattern and scrappy, but look totally different! Gorgeous!
 |
| Look at these giant bow tie blocks! |
 |
| Mine is tiny compared to them, I can't wait to see the finished quilt! |
Never wear white when sewing a denim rag quilt! I was covered with dark threads, I hope you can see them in this picture!
I had so much fun! I can't wait until the next retreat! I hope I didn't miss anybody! There so many talented ladies there!

ReplyDeleteWhat fun it would have been to attend this function. I love anything to do with quilts. I do not make them, but buy and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWow! thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things hop xo
ReplyDeleteI do love the bunny fabric, and a great idea to keep the theme going through all the fabric. Hope you are having fun!
