What a fun looking retreat! And lucky Larissa! The quilt is wonderful! And she looks adorable!
ReplyDeleteHi Robbie, Yes, it was a great deal of FUN.....just what we all needed! Yes, Larissa is just as adorable on the inside as she is on the outside. She is a newbie quilter and such a natural sewist.
DeleteThanks Robbie,
LuAnn

OMG, ric rac orange peel blocks! I have such a huge collection of ric rac!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
DeleteYes, my friend Linda is having a great deal of FUN applying ric rac to her orange peels. It is so playful.
LuAnn
I agree--that ric rac adds a new dimension to the pattern. And yours is looking fantastic!
DeleteThe orange peels with ric rac is my friend Linda's quilt top. She is having a great deal of FUN with it. We are enjoying watching her progress.
DeleteMy Best To You,
LuAnn
I just realized that I probably comment more on the cattle drives and calfs and spring happenings on the farm, but I LOVE and ADORE your quilts and the many idea you conceptualize and complete! And if I lived even 500 miles from you, I would likely just knock on the door of your retreats and beg to come and visit. This must be the best retreat space, and I appreciate all the posts you share about you and your quilting friends. I love to see all the projects!
ReplyDeleteHi Dahn, So glad you are enjoying the blog posts. I have FUN sharing a bit of Western Oregon life with everyone.
DeleteLuAnn
I love your retreats and the projects everyone is working on. If I lived within 500 miles of you, I would be knocking on your door and hoping to come in and visit. You have the BEST retreat space! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Dahn, Our Quilt Palace is a 2nd residence that we inherited many years ago. It is the original homestead site from 1911 (3rd house built there). We didn't want to rent it out, so we turned it into the Quilt Place, which we share with the quilters in our tiny community.
