No retreat time is complete without a quilt shop stop. The town of Spring Green has the most wonderful quilt shop called Country Sampler. I love their fabrics and the samples throughout.
This is in the basement so it's a little dark but still filled with treasures!
I think the quilt on the bed is a cheater-cloth but you can't tell!
This is what DarLynn finished:
She tried to convince me to make it too but fortunately someone else took the pattern home! It's adorable though. It's an old Quiltmaker pattern.
This is a kit from Country Sampler using French General fabrics so of course I loved it! Here are a couple of close ups of the blocks:
Someone was going to throw out (imagine that!!???) her extra hsts so they became mine:
They were 1-1/4" unf! Tiny! And since I had nothing else to do (NOT!) I looked around for a pattern. Look what I made!
I bought that gold fabric at JJ Stitches and love it!
One of the women is a great embroiderer! Look at this Christmas green quilt:
The machine quilting was amazing too! A change of bobbin thread made a huge difference!
Back to sunny and warm California tomorrow!
Wow, looks like a great group of quilters, I love the funky churn dash blocks, very creative way to make that block. Oh the green embroidery, so perfect for the holidays.....
