Tuesday, October 6, 2009 Retreat (entry 23)
Okay ladies, I spent the weekend at the Rustler's Lodge with a group of fabulous women. I created a few things that I absolutely love, had some amazing laughs - roll of the floor kin ;) and didn't sleep much - pretty much all of the compulsory items for retreat.
This was the cutest teddy bear made with a furry fabric, appliqued onto a little girls quilt made by Wilma
The cheeriest coffee style of place mats made by Alison C - set of 6 arn't they adorable - love the colours.
Another masterpiece put up on the design wall to help for colour placement - Dianne P - she has such good eye for colour.
Not sure who this was made for but Cathy B did such a great layout - for a girl for sure!! Love the striped sashing and the corner stones.
My mom's log cabin with the chenille centers - so perfect!!
almost done, last colour added

Then I got into making these sew, so cute aprons from my mum's book

completed option 2
(it was a little dark in the room when I took this pic)
This is the finished option 3 - this one Mum and I thought that the scallop and waistband want's really the best colour - in the end we liked this one the BEST!

What wonderful quilts! And I LOVE the aprons! They are just adorable!
Looks like you were really productive at your retreat. I have been going to Rustler's for many years now and have to say it is a great place for a retreat!
Is this an annual event for you?
Hi Tina, yes I did get quite a few aprons done as well as some other things. This is the first time I've been to Rustlers, have you been there recently?
Thanks for commenting on my blog...please visit again.
