Zephyr Point Day 4

 Hello Everyone,

Not much commentary today, just a lot of images to share. We're packing up and saying goodbye to our magical corner of Lake Tahoe, so the morning’s full of tasks. Here’s a visual recap of yesterday’s moments.

Diane's Calico Cottages is so beautiful!

Diane used an old doily for her label. 

Not only quilting but garment making in the room.

Paula's Party in the Garden. I first met Paula when she was in my class ages ago for this quilt.

Gail's Christmas Ribbons.

Gail's Winterset on steroids.

Nancy's baby Winterset.

Julie's Country Sampler.  She worked on the sashing during the retreat.

Country Courthouse blocks.

Baskets from Emilie Elizabeth made by Sue.

Diana's sweet little paper-pieced flowers.

There are some very daunting stairs at Zephyr Point.

Candace and Julie conquered the stairs and did their 'Rocky' impersonation!

Until next year......

Soon,

Lynn

Zephyr Point Day Three

 Hello Everyone,

Here’s a glimpse into the show-and-tell magic from the Sew’n Wild Oaks retreat. These talented women continue to astound me with their exquisite craftsmanship and boundless creativity. So, without further ado, enjoy your complimentary morning quilt show!

Several of us start our day with our morning brew at Cabin 28. There's a chill in the air in the air, but it warms up nicely during the day.

The food has been absolutely delicious.  We have three meals a day in this beautiful dining room.

We have daily raffles, and Gerri had the best reaction when she won.

These women are the full package, creative, hilarious, and absolutely fabulous individuals.  They are responsible for the beauty in the room.  The eruptions of laughter throughout the day are contagious!

Soon,

Lynn

Zephyr Point Day Two

 Hello Everyone,

It was 6:45am and the lake, the quilters, and the Tallac Center were starting to wake up and greet the day.  A few of us walked over to the little coffee shop called Cabin 28 to get our specialty coffee and tea. The air is crisp and there's a strong feeling of fall surrounding us.

After breakfast, the quilters started to decorate the walls with their artwork. The beauty on the inside of the room matched the beauty on the outside.

This is actually going to be a reversible Christmas Tree skirt.  Barbara's family member requested the Golden Retriever fabric, and you know I'm a big fan of that!

This is Julie's A Day in Happyland designed by Hatched and Patched.

This design is a visual feast, and Julie’s exquisite stitching adds depth and movement that draws the eye in again and again and around the entire design.

This is Julie's dog, Molly.

It drew quite the crowd of spectators.

Donna is making Aurora blocks for Romancing Alaska.  

I did a short class today and the girls gathered around.  The view......oh the view is spectacular.

The view is ever changing. 

We have 2½ days left in this dreamy spot—and you better believe we’re soaking up every second!

Soon,

Lynn
