Sisters Antique Quilts


This one was my favorite of the day!!!


It was a terrific day for a quilt show. Our first stop is always the antique quilts for sale. These were a few beauties.

Heading home early in the morning. It was a fantastic week.

So here is the top I'm calling 
"Under the Big Top" I'm thrilled as all heck about it although I think I am adding a border later
Several ladies, including myself, swapped 3 sizes of hst for 9 months starting in 2010.  You know what I say- good things can't be rushed! I love it!


Tonight we went into Bend and enjoyed the music of Pink Martini. It was nice to get away from the machines, relax and laugh a bit. 


Quilt show tomorrow!

Wednesday Retreat Part 2


Look what I machine quilted yesterday!
It's not the best job due to my retreat setup, but it's done except the binding, which I will do in red once I'm home.

How are you all doing on your medallion? Do I need to set up a linky next week so we can see them all? 

I'm making good progress on the next project.........

Sunriver Sisters Wednesday



So here are photos of the special ladies I am spending the week with.  New friends and old friends and special in every way!


Here's Randy ( old friend)  holding a little quilt we made for her.  She is so generous with her lovely home here. 
Ann (new friend)  from California is able to stay focused in a room full of chatty women! A bonus is that she's been running with me too.
Here's Claire (old friend) making a lovely charity quilt and adding wise words to our conversations. 
Left to right- Deb- Darlynn-Pat. ( New friends) All three are full of helpful Pinterest, bloglovin, and iPad tricks. They've got twice as many sewing tricks up their sleeves too!  They are from Wisconsin and Georgia. Gotta love the Fargo accent! Lol
Here is how I opted to setup swap friendship star blocks. I love it! It makes me think if the saying, " The road to a friend's home is never far."

This little top makes 8 projects now. I've got one more to show.. Tomorrow. Time for bed.
