2010 Christian Women's Quilt Retreat

sponsored by:  Bittersweet Quilts

They came from far and wide to enjoy a weekend of their own quilt projects and work on some projects for charity.  One of these projects was called the "One Million Pillowcase Challenge", being put on by American Patchwork and Quilting (allpeoplequilt.com).  Notice how quilters can smile after staying up until 3 a.m. (well, not all of us stayed up that late).

There was a trunk show by Lillie Eaton.  Her applique quilts were very awe inspiring.

Rhonda and Robbi doing the Vanna White.

            Donna, hard at work.

Ginny, helping out her mom, Ginger.

Gloria, working on her two-tone quilt.

Shelly always had a smile for you.

Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.  Is it a bird? A plane? No--it is Donna, "Super Seamstress".  How many quilt tops did you finish?

"THE HORSE"  Ginger started this at the first retreat and finished it at the second.  No UFOs allowed. Well, as long as you don't look in our closets.

Gloria and the Three Sisters.  Sounds like a singing group.  But they are really: Donna, Karen, Tricia, and Gloria (L to R)       

Restoring old quilts takes a LOT of concentration.
