A fabulous get-together

As you've probably figured out by now, Wendy Reed (constantquilter),  Barb Vedder (funwithbarb)  and I rented a lovely, cozy cabin just steps from the beach outside of Newburyport, off the coast of Massachussets, on Plum Island,  last week for our first post-Covid post-vaccination retreat.  

We originally planned our get-together to coincide with Wendy's exhibition at the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell.  What an amazing treat to go there with Wendy and Barb to view Wendy's quilts in an impressive display, along with Pilgrim Roy's cheddar quilts.  Pam Weeks is the curator at the museum and truly did an amazing job with the displays and the descriptions.


Here's Wendy standing proudly in front of one of her amazing quilts.  Not sure if you can see the teeny tiny berries/grapes closely or the amazing quilting that she did.  Her quilts are truly masterpieces.  

We had time to share quilts and I’ll post some pictures once I can get blogger to cooperate. Or maybe it’s operator error!

We had a great time, us three.  It was the perfect combination of everything. Here we were being silly at the beach our first day.

We exchanged four little basket blocks to assemble as we chose.  Wendy did a great job creating two memory quilts already. Check out her blog (constantquilter) Mine will have to wait a couple of weeks as I'm still on the East Coast helping my son and his family move into their new home in Virginia.


Here is a jetty we walked along.  Such a beautiful beach!

I'm having trouble downloading pictures for some reason today so I'lm going to hold off on sharing some other pictures from our get-together.

Hope you're staying well, safe and happy.
