Retreat beauties

One of the best parts of a quilt retreat is sharing ideas and finishes

with the other quiltmakers.

This year we had an informal show and tell beside our workstations.

I didn't photograph nearly all of the quilts, but here are a few:

Anne's New Zealand quilt, showcasing fabrics she bought in NZ.

Here's a close-up.  Double click to view it larger.

This is Irene's star quilt that she was working on last year,

using only one fabric, which she featured on the border.

I like the colour momveent on this ribbon quilt.

Val (right) worked on this quilt for several retreats.

Her sister Loretta (left) send her a box of 40 tiny paper pieced blocks

in honour of her 40th birthday.

Val sorted them by colourway

and figured out how to put them together.

One of the quilters brought vintage linens to sell

Here Heidi, the vintage quilt doctor, is holding up the dresden plate

she's taking home to love.

I like the diamonds around the edge of the blades.

Audrey finished a sampler top from previous guild challenges.

My wonky star is the one at the bottom left.
