IDAHO Quilt Retreat...

I traveled 1,200 miles round trip

to attend a Quilt Retreat in Idaho...

Twinlow Camp and Retreat Center

at Twin Lakes in North Idaho

Selkirk Lodge

Big windows allow lots of natural light

into our work room...

This is base camp for me for the week...

I am trying to finish up 

a Dresden Plate quilt top this week...

Day 1.....Applique work done,

Blocks sewn with sashing strips...

By the end of the first day,

All 5 rows are sashed.

Day 2

The Fabric Fairy left a surprise 

by my sewing machine...

A Thread Basket filled with treats !

By the end of Day 2...

The rows are sewn together...

the borders are sewn on...

the quilt top is.....DONE !

There is no way I would have it done that quickly

if I was working on it at home.....no way !

Day 3

Snap Bag Class...

I brought along a basket full of

snap bag kits...

The Quilters enjoyed learning how to stitch 

together snap bags to store your glasses...

Day 4

I had great FUN creating Stitch Cards.

I purchased blank note cards and envelopes

and stitched fabric onto the front of the cards.

Sewing through paper...it is a blast !

Here are random images 

from the Quilt Retreat:

I have been attending this retreat 

for many years...

it is well worth the trip !
