You've already seen what I accomplished, but I wanted to share some that I took of others' beautiful projects. This is my design wall, and you might recognize my 4 Roman Holiday stars. The smaller Ohio Stars to the right are my SIL's and the Log Cabin blocks to the left are fabulous, aren't they? 1/2" logs! But check out those drop-dead gorgeous feathered stars that Mary Hickey was working on. She is making an incredibly complicated quilt for each of her children. I wish she'd adopt me so I could get one of these beauties!
This was a beautiful basket quilt that Judy Pollard was working on. She designed it using a computer program and it was fascinating to watch all the blocks go up.
One of my favorite parts of retreat is the "walk through" on Saturday morning after breakfast, where you go through the cabins and see what people have displayed on their beds and walls of their rooms, and also what other people are working on in the other work spaces.
Does anyone recognize this pattern? I was told it was a Buggy Barn pattern, but I contacted them and they said it was not. I would love to make a Christmas quilt like this with the wonky trees and presents!
And here are some of the other works in progress or finished quilts on display. I wasn't fast enough to catch a lot of these very prolific ladies as they would finish one and put it away before I thought to snap a photo. Oh well!
These are some beautiful quilts, thats for sure. Haven't been able to find that pattern yet. I swear I have seen it somewhere, probably in a magazine. I have a basket quilt I am making; it is a wip that I need to finish some day. It is in soft florals. This picture makes me think I need to get it out and finish it. I like your log cabin and snowmen. Really, really, pretty and unique. Thanks for sharing all of these...makes me want to work harder, lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a group of talented women! Those feathered star blocks are amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's a combo of Trees Up! Lights on! and Shopping's Done! Gift's Wrapped! by Sandy Gervais, Pieces From My heart patterns - http://www.piecesfrommyheart.net/awStore/store/awStore_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=33&curPage=13
ReplyDeleteTrees Up has been extremely popular as a class and pattern - everyone is amazed to find out it's a stack and whack. I've never seen the two combined, but I like it.
Lovely quilts you have shown! It must have been so inspiring to see everyone's projects.
ReplyDeleteYou sure do have some talent friends! It would be fun to be a fly on the wall and watch all of you create your beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea what the name of the pattern is for the batik quilt? My quilty friends and I are planning a project for our retreat next summer and we want to do something using batiks. That pattern looks easy enough to complete over a weekend.
feathered stars! oh my! all are beautiful, but the last one in the Hollywood and Vines with the applique leaves? Be still my heart! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletethat's a Sandy Gervais pattern with the trees that you like. It comes in a pattern. Did you find it yet?
ReplyDeleteI love that LC with the snowman. Do you know what pattern and fabric your SIL is using. Those feathered stars are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great and inspirational retreat. I have taken classes from Mary Hickey and Judy Pollard many years ago now. Fun to see that they are still working away like the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all those beautiful quilts with us, Lisa! Wowee! I'm glad someone had the answer about that quilt. I knew I had seen it before! It really is cute, isn't it? Love the log cabin with the snowmen - I want it!! Can you get it for me? LOL!!
