Last Thursday – Sunday I hosted a retreat for 10 fabulous women. The pattern we worked on was “Captain’s Wheel” by Judy Niemeyer. Held at the Wimberly Quilt Ranch in Wimberly, TX we found a little bit of paradise. Many of us even found time to enjoy the screened in porches and watch the deer, birds and squirrels. We were quite impressed by how much one particular squirrel could consume!

Our retreat was a HUGE success, much in part to Ronda, she was our cook and chief bottle washer. She even found some time to sew. Check out her blog for this retreat here.

This fabulous mother/daughter duo were attending their very first quilt retreat – they were so much fun! PS – they were also first time paper-piecers!

As the blocks started being assembled – I started playing. The upper right is from a kit and will match the pattern cover quilt.

As more blocks were assembled I had even more fun playing with the blocks! – My quilt is the multi-color in the lower left corner.

Here is the gang as they jostled to take photos of the block compilation from their combined blocks

A shopping trip to Valli and Kim in Dripping Springs yielded this great fabric for Jackie’s multi-color Captain’s Wheel

Linda shared how she makes a scalloped flange – (I am not sure I ever had there undivided attention like this!)

We are just putting the final information together for our next retreat, which will be January 29, – February 1, 2015. The selected pattern is Fire Island Hosta, you can make the Wall Quilt or the Queen Size!

Hope to see you at a class or retreat in the future!
