May 2015 Retreat

Greetings everyone!  I've finally edited the photos from our overnight retreat in May.  If I don't do things right away, it is so much harder to get yourself back to it.

We had a great time.  Actually I think the time went by quickly.  We did indulge ourselves with a cat nap, then got right back to it.  There was plenty of sugar to keep us energized.

We had a pot luck carry in,  lots of food and desserts, vegetables were scarce.  But then what is the most important ingredient at a sew-in ............. chocolate.  Yep, we had chocolate. Here is our buffet table.  Everyone was invited to dinner, even if they couldn't stay overnight.

Click on the photos for a nice close-up view.




Our buffet table.  Is Mary here leading the line-up  or going back for seconds?  





Here is Susie and Alice having an after-dinner chat.





















Here is a pic of ladies working hard at having fun....Dee, Susie, Mary  and Pres. Jen waaay at the back.



Alice is working hard on her quilt.

















Arlene is always working on a traditional masterpiece.                                        






















Kathy B.  is seen here  knee deep in projects for her annual craft sale.




Here is Pres. Jen hard at work.





Pres. Jen brought a troubled medallion, looking for ideas to turn it into a quilt.  She received much help, since quilters can't resist sharing their creative ideas.





It's truly evident that Stephanie is enjoying her work!





We had a great time and fondled lots of fabric.  I thought I was too old to stay up all night,  but each year gets easier.  I'm looking forward to next years' quilting marathon!
