Spring Retreat 2014

Maureen’s final retreat was a wonderful Christmas one – luckily the weather did not cooperate, and although we had some rain, overall it was a great weekend. We had a Christmas tree with presents, greatfood including a turkey dinner on Saturday, many draws for prizes, lots of time for sewing and a great show and tell.

Ann took pictures of all the show and tell, and I am sure that we will all see the finished projects soon, but here are a few scenes from the weekend.

Note the wonderful quilted Pointsettia over Tricia's shoulder. That's Annie's project on the wall behind — Note the wonderful quilted Pointsettia over Tricia’s shoulder. That’s Annie’s project on the wall behind

Wonderful light from the large windows at the end of the room - but it's a little chilly at that end! — Wonderful light from the large windows at the end of the room – but it’s a little chilly at that end!

Brigitte finished her quilt from the BQ Class a couple of years ago (it was a sample!)

Janet's almost ready for the borders on her Retreat quit (only been working on it for two years - but only at Spring Retreats). — Janet’s almost ready for the borders on her Retreat quit (been working on it for two years – but only at Spring Retreats).

Many thanks to Maureen and her helpers for organizing the Retreat for the last few years. She is passing the baton to Lynn and Annie who have started working on next year! Meet you all at the same place in April next year!
