Retreat doings

Our guild had our retreat in Raleigh last weekend and everyone worked hard on their own projects and'/or on the mini workshops that were offered: yoyos, english paper piecing, pocketbook making, and a tree tabletopper.  Some of us declined the yoyo class thinking we would not make a yoyo quilt.  When we did the tabletopper we realized we could make tiny yoyos to put at the top of our trees.  We had to take a remedial course in yoyos and someone picked up all the small yoyo makers at JoAnns.  We all learned a lot and had fun.

This is a Christmas book I made from fabric I got in Canada this summer.  It is Mary Englebret fabric.

This is an advent calendar I got the fabric for also in Canada and have put on all the pockets for treats for Cecil.  It is ready to quilt.

These are two blocks I painted for the Art "do" on Friday night at the art center.

Now I have to go pick up more raffle quilt tickets because they are really selling.
Happy Quilting.
