Quilt Camp 2011

I got to enjoy an outing up to the mountains this past weekend with a group of fun gals. Our favorite place to go! I wasn't a very good picture taker tho and never got photo's of some of the gals, but I did capture a few of their projects. So much fun to watch the room transform as people hang things on the design wall. This isn't exactly a quilt but we all went and bought a big box of Utah peaches from a place that sells them, they are so good, just melt in your mouth, so everyone coming by my house this week is getting peaches!Here is my box of projects to work on, just thought you'd be amazed at how many things we haul along! You never know what you might be in the mood to work on! About half got worked on and finished, the rest I should put a note in the bag that said they just got to go along for the ride!
So on to some of the pretty projects, I'll save the photo's of mine and you'll see those as time goes, but here is what some other talented people did....
This is Denise's tumbler, those are about 1 1/2 inches!Sue was working on the center of this pretty one, looks like a spring time garden doesn't it.
I just love looking at things other people are creating, this one will be so pretty when done, I think it was orange popsicle or something like that! love the pinwheel in the center.
Barb and I tried out our jelly roll race for our class coming up! Here is hers, it was wonderful, I made a fall one but need a border so you'll see that another time. We did these tops in under 1 1/2 hours! It's such a fun process!
Theresa, Louise and Denise all hard at work!
Denise did these blocks, we did this block as a table runner in Sew and Go and it flys together.
Jean had this pretty batik one going, she had it all together by the time we went home.
Look at these monkey's coming along. Theresa and Louise are doing this for a class they teach.
Denise had these blocks all appliqued so she had these doggies done in no time!

Love the stars!

Barb hard at work! What a fun time we all had, lots of laughs, very little sleeping, lots of great food, so quilt camp is over until next time!

Quilt Camp

Lucky me got to go to "quilt camp" last weekend with this fun group of gals ! We were having fun celebrating Barb's birthday up there !Our hostess and host, Carol and Bob spoil us with wonderful food 3 times a day like this !
We all enjoyed lunch outside on thursday when we arrived, the hummingbirds put on quite a show for us !
This wonderful retreat called Bear Cabin is up on the rim in northern Arizona a few miles west of Show Low. I'll show you a bunch of projects people worked on....this is a quilt Denise put the blocks together on, I brought it home to quilt up for her this week.
Here is another Denise project that she put the blocks around on.
Here is Judy cutting batting for a bag we all made.
Barb got this mystery quilt put together.
Here is the wonderful sewing room, well lit and spacious, everyone has a table to "play " on. Here is Joan, Judy, Barb and Linda.
The other side of the room had MaryBeth, Sarah and Denise and I.
I finished up this table runner...
And 2 aprons to wear for work, Christmas and halloween... We wear aprons when working the floor at Scrapbooks Etc. and I find I like an apron on when teaching so my seam ripper and few little supplies are at hand !
Denise finished setting this pretty New England redwork quilt.
And Sarah brought us all a treat....her special grasshopper martini's !
This is my fall apron...
Look at this fun I spy quilt Linda did for her grandson....one of them is a picture of him and another a picture of his special little lovey toy !
Another Denise creation....I want to do this one !
And here is my "everyday" apron for work....when it's not holiday time !
Barb finished up another mystery quilt, I love this one, it had 21 different fabrics, that is alot for a mystery quilt.
MaryBeth and her bag, a few of us made this cute bag, mine just needs the handwork and then I'll photograph it !What a fun time we had, come sunday it's time to head home and back to our lives, but we sure had alot of laughs and good time...not much sleep but the machines just kept running and we had a blast !
