Casey's Quilters Retreat Finale

Here are my quilting buddies for 2 day retreat. L - R - Kay of Casey Quilters where we meet twice a month, Helen, Chris, Janice, and Sue.

Below is Sherry our instructor - this is her finished top that inspired us. Her's was scrappy and done in Christmas prints.

Margo's - 3 rows finished - 2 more to go. I wanted it masculine looking.

Helen was the only one to finish her top. She wanted it with an elegant look.

Chris finished this top that will be given to charity and also started a second one for charity. That is her mission in life and she is a blessing to many who would never have a quilt. She also does chemo hats. Her hands are a gift to others.

Janice stars really popped with her black and red.

Kay's cardinals all going in the right direction thanks to Helen (smile).

Last but not least we have Sue who did her's scrappy but very nice.

This was what we accomplished in 2 days and we agreed it was a wonderful time. Will be fun to see them all finished. Sherry was a wonderful hostess fixing all our meals and so all we had to do was show up and quilt. Thanks Sherry and Kay

Casey Retreat-Saturday

We arrived this morning for Casey's Retreat at Sherry's studio with sewing machines in tow and our material all cut and ready to go. Most of us had made a sample block and after putting them on the design wall some changes were made.

It was a fun day as we interacted with one another...eating lunch and dinner and all the goodies provided. Most of us conquered approx. 10 blocks. Also pictured is the quilt Sherry, our instructor, made from the corners that were cut off. We left tired but will arrive again tomorrow refreshed and ready to conquer the remaining blocks. (schroll down and you will see the finished picture of the "Theresa Star" and more information. I will post more later.
