OK, show and tell from retreat last weekend. I apologize for where we were standing to show. You can clearly see we were competing with a work station so the quilts don't necessarily star in the pics, but you get the idea.
I'll just name the stitcher and let the quilt work speak for itself.
This was a challenge Barb set up. She brought five fats and we were to bring one piece that we thought would work well with what she brought. Then we each got a piece of all five she brought to make a 6.5 inch block then and there, using five of the pieces, no thinking allowed. Sheesh! Making me do math off the top of my head? Really? AND remember, I don't have a machine with me. AND she timed us! I used Barb's machine, one of those that could launch the space shuttle. Mine is on the top. Then we picked a number from 1-10 and the one who came closest to the number Barb wrote down took the lot. Sally won and the other part of this is she brings something back to next retreat with all of these in the finished product.
What a talented bunch of ladies. I always love a good show n' tell.
ReplyDeleteSome very talented ladies there. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! I thought at first the photos were what you all finished at retreat and I was like "WHOA!!! You guys must not have slept" but then I read closer and feel less like a lump for the little I accomplished at my retreat.
