Something About Nothing

Part of my retreat is time spent at my friend Sylvia's house. And I always need to get new photos of her beautiful "puppies" Eddie and . . . Peaty We took a hike up the canyon and did a little geocashing . We left a marble as well as our names. Eddie & Peaty had a great time exploring! And I did much better on the "long" trek this year. My knees are doing better. A view of the valley below. And then it was off to Fairview for the real fun! We made some charity quilts when we first arrived. This class was going on while we were making some charity quilts. Beautiful!!! There was also a bag class going on.  Forgot to sneak in a photo of the bags.  They were a nice big size and beautiful. And there was some cuddling going on too with this adorable guy. I taught my Photo Transfer class  Sylvia felt the need to hide.  The sunset was lovely so I had to run out and take a photo....

I attended and taught at my first quilt retreat last week and had a great time.  So much fun that I kept forgetting to take pictures!  Here are a few I did manage to take. . . Sandy and I stayed with our friend Sylvia and we took advantage of the beautiful weather by taking a very long walk up the "hill." This is my new buddy Peaty. He is very handsome! We had trunk shows during the lunch hours that were very inspiring.  I forgot to take pictures while Flora was showing her quilts.  This photo actually looks like Bonnie is saying "Oh My!" The new fabric company Riley Blake Designs came the next day and showed their fabrics as well as a trunk show of their quilter's past projects. Sandy took a fun class from Flora where she learned a slick way of making these diamonds. Sandy also taught three classes.  Sylvia taught a class called "Mended Hearts" She also taught us strip poker! Here are the strippers. . . We bet with strips of fabric and the high car...

I am very excited to be teaching at the Super Spring Quilt Retreat April 7 - 10, 2010, in The Willow Creek Inn at Ephraim, Utah.  I just finished this sample for my Lawless Log Cabin quilt class.  The class is only 3 hours long so we won't have time to finish an entire quilt but I hope to give those who attend the skills to make blocks like these: or these.
