I had a great time at our Guild's May Retreat. And it was so wonderful that my Mom, my daughter, and my daughter-in-law could join me. Here's are some photos of projects that were worked on by the 22 of us:

our first make and take - a needle case.
Our second make and take - a quilting in the Neighborhood placemat
Some of the projects worked on:
 |
| Tracy's first Dresden plate - she made it into a pillow |
 |
| Katy's Embroidered starfish - felt like chenille. |
 |
| A pickle dish project |
 |
| Fern's fabulous dragon quilt - her own pattern for this panel |
 |
| Barara's Mad Hatter |
 |
| Carol's tablet holder |
 |
Joyce's lovely stack and whack block
|
My amazing daughter-in-law took to free motion quilting like a duck to water. Her first quilting endeavor.
Once she had it quilted, she bound it. It is for her new niece. And my daughter took Deanna's cut off triangles from her placemat and made a mug rug:

| Em's our queen of mini quilts from scraps. |
The
setting is soothing, the food fabulous, the company a joy.
Hope you get to go to a retreat this year. One coming up in November.
Retreats are always so productive, and I LOVE getting to see what everyone else is working on. You had an amazing group, and what a lovely place!
