Mary Kay's Road to Retreat Quilt

Finished quilting this quilt this morning.  It was constructed by Mary Kay, starting at our 2011 Quilt Retreat Getaway Weekend.  Mary Kay is a fairly new quilter and did an excellent job.  The pattern was an original pattern by Diane Lapacek, our teacher for all our Quilt Retreat Getaway Weekends.

Get a load of that great pieced border!

 Great job by Mary Kay on the piecing and Diane on the designing.  I did "Bare Bones" quilting on the quilt and it looks great. 

Mary Kay got a 10% discount on the quilting.  This is a perk you get from attending our retreats.  All quilts started at our retreats from our retreat patterns get a discount on the quilting.

Just thought I would share another great quilt.

Kim’s Mystery Retreat Quilt

Today I finished quilting another beautiful quilt that was made as a Mystery Quilt at the 2009 Quilt Retreat Getaway Weekend.  Kim did a fantastic job on her quilt and I love her colors.

Remember when -

I was cleaning some old stuff from my computer and ran across pictures from prior quilt retreats.  I thought is would be fun to post a few pictures at a time.  These pictures are from our very first Quilt Retreat Getaway Weekend held at Sugar Creek outside of Ferryville, Wisconsin.  


The Pineapple is still one of my favorite quilts to teach.  I am going to Wyoming to teach this class to a guild this spring.  I have been working on my sample and that is why I was looking at old pictures!

Someone help me.  I can't tell who this is!  First one to tell me gets a $10 gift certificate to the store at 2010 Quilt Retreat Getaway Weekend in Belmont, Wisconsin. 

Thye mystery is solved!  This is Julie.  Thanks to Bette for letting me know.
