Idaho Quilting Retreat...



Time for a road trip...

After a 10 hour drive we arrived in Idaho




I am at the Bossom Buddies Quilt Retreat

This is my home away from home

for the next week







I plan to piece my Double Wedding Ring Quilt

into rows...






I brought along my Vintage Singer 185K

so she could stretch her legs for a few days!







I spent several hours getting my rings up on the 

design wall...

I am ready to begin piecing this into a quilt top






Enough rings leftover for a runner...







This is the hallway leading to the bedrooms.

At the end of the hall is the large work space

where we will be sewing.






My first row is coming together nicely...

By the end of the retreat I completed 6 rows

on the Double Wedding Ring Quilt top






We all had lots of FUN....






Ate lots of yummy food...






and sewed lots of stitches!






I am so happy I made the trip to Idaho...

I made lots of wonderful memories!

  1. Looks like you had fun. What a great facility. Where is it located. Our group in the Spokane area is looking for a new place to meet.
