Retreat Wrap-up Photos

First, a tour of Febuary Hill Retreat House.  
(One of the owners was a Frenchman named Fevrier but it was misspelled when translated.)

Original 1832 front door


Back of side "L"


Beautiful gardens


Renovated kitchen


Front parlor/library


Quilts all around (at least a hundred!)


Now to what we created in four days (and this is only a partial showing)

Ruth added borders to this pink beauty


Becky whipped this carpenter's star together in a little over one day!


And Becky added borders to Hot Mess (it's a long story)


One of many stars by Nancy


Ruth was challenged by Cactus Flower

 
Donna finished Frolic


WOWE quilts



WOWE is an organization that supports a local cancer center.
Since they have not been able to have group sewing sessions,
they sent some already-cut kits for us to work on.

There was a lot more going on but I didn't take progress photos.

  3. What a beautiful setting. It must be hard to purposely type 'Febuary." hot Mess is intriguing. I think I've figured out Nancy's star block. And Cactus Flower caught my eye.
