Weekend Retreaters treasures



You all know my love of pin cushions. Look at this one. This started out as a white cushion and then got embellished with wool leaves and petals.

Cute huh?

This weekend was no exception to the talents out there. Many in the group didn't even bring sewing machines, yet kept busy doing beautiful hand work. Applique in wool mostly. Stunning projects.

Some of the show n tell wool projects, bags and totes.
The dice game came out for a quick game of "L.R.C." (left, right, center) played with fat quarters of fabric. It goes better with wine you know.

Check out this chantalain made by Tomi.
Here is a dimensional punch needle Uncle Sam. See the raised swirls in his beard? Punched at a greater depth.

Check this out....


and more and more great quilts. Traditional and Artsy.
all for now, Patsy
