The best thing about retreats…. the people.
Getting the opportunity to hangout and get to really know a person is better than all the quilt fabric in the world… making friends is priceless and when you attend a retreat this happens…
I just spent a wonderful 4 days with a bunch of awesome women… whom I will miss until I come back in August and then November…here are some pics of our fun!
Betty had lots to share…finished PG designs … Tomorrow’s Flowers… Somewhere in Time….
Among Friends..
Deb shared a finished Sue’s Stars…Deb is really a lot happier than what I captured here…lol
and Snow Dance…
then Traci showed a fabulous Nancy Rink design… sorry I didn’t catch the name if it…
she also had My Crazy Life almost done as well…
Susan shared a few wool finishes… NEST is a single pattern now but was also in the out of print Summer Gatherings book which you may have already and then Geranium Baskets…
Cindy finished a few projects she sent home with me to frame plus this Everday Crazy Mat that I helped her attach the bias binding to finish it up as well!!!
Here is another great PG quilt… Whirlwind Flight…with our signature HSTs…We only have the pattern listed right now for this but I bet we could make a kit if you wished…Karen is almost finished with it!!! …
Then we had some new projects we worked on especially for this retreat…
This is one of the new Welcome banners coming out in November…We will be putting up Pre Orders for them soon…here are the others that I showed in my Quilt Market booth in Portland OR…I do not try to show you things you can’t have but here is a peek! Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter…these kits will come regular and Pre-cut/fused for those who love that and have some difficulties cutting and tracing…when you pre order on our site it charges your card on the spot…so I think it’s a little too soon to be holding your $$ that long…They will be $38 for the precut/fused kit/pattern, background and binding- and less for the non precut with pattern.
Then Star Penny Mat was super fun and easy as all the circles are precut/w/fusible!!!someone is working Moon Garden!!! Look for those patterns here on the blog…search Moon Garden…this is our FREE stitch along going on right now…
We had about 30 women which made a nice cozy group.. if you want to join us in November 25-29th in sunny southern CA..please call the shop ask for Dru and she can send you the info… 951-304-9787 or email… primitivegatheringsca@gmail.com
Hope you enjoyed our “retreat”…LB
