I just finished hostessing my quilting retreat in one of my most favorite places...McCloud, CA. 30 quilters gathered for 4 days of non-stop quilting, eating, shopping and misbehaving and we had a wonderful time. Everyone comes to get away from "life" for awhile...including me. Retreats give us all a chance to take a deep breath, regather our energy and focus and then head back home to face reality. Even though I'm supposed to be "in charge" of the retreat, I feel like I'm on my own personal retreat and have just invited 30+ good friends to join me. I am sharing a few pictures of our weekend. I also wanted to share a few more pieces that I've worked on this past week in preparation for my week in Denver which starts tomorrow. I hope to have lots of pictures to share very soon! The small piece above measures only 3 x 5"! Oh...and another thing...Karen Azevedo shared this link to a post on The Quilt Show which features the MOST AMAZING corded French white work quilt. Check It Out!!! Hugs, Cindy :)
