Sew'n Wild Oaks October Retreat Day #1

Hello Everyone,

 

We had a fun, first day at Sew'n Wild Oaks retreat as Snowflake Lodge yesterday.  My wonderful worker bees made quick work of setting up the design walls and preparing the room making everything wonderful for 36 quilters arriving from around the state.

 

Gifts of note cards and address labels were ready and waiting.

 



Hexagon table topper kits are out on display.

 

 The classroom was a flurry of activity the entire day.....

.....unless it was time to eat!

 We had lunch on the deck.

The deck overlooks a small lake.

In the afternoon, several of the girls took a walk around the lake.

 

The meals are always excellent!

Kristi gave us a good chuckle with her wine sippy cup.

Our dessert was quilted eye candy.  We had a feast! 

 

On a funny note, one of the girls sent a text to her husband and told him she was quilting until 9pm. His response was that it sounded like exploitation of a senior citizen! Another wonderful day is ahead of us.....until 9pm!

Soon,
Lynn

Independence Hall Quilt Show

Hello Everyone,

 

I only have a couple of pictures of my booth to show you today.  We were so busy at the show, I didn't have a chance to get out of the booth and look around and take pictures of the quilts.

 



So many friends and acquaintances stopped by to say hi.  We had a great time with everyone.  Thank you all so much for coming and supporting my guild.

We are looking forward to another good day with crisp temperatures and beautiful surroundings.

 

Two more friends arrived in town yesterday and they will help us with the show periodically throughout the day.  Last night, five of us gathered around the kitchen table with a glass of wine and chicken enchiladas.  The laughter from last night is going to spill over into today.  Just too much fun!

Soon,
Lynn

Beautiful Weekend for a Quilt Show

Hello Everyone,

 

Just a quick post before I dash off to get set up at Ironstone Winery for the Independence Hall Quilt Show.  

 

 

 The Ironstone venue couldn't be any prettier for a show.

Fall color greets you the minute you approach the winery.

It is fun to just walk through the grounds.

Throw in a quilt show too and what more could you want?

Come on by and see my booth in the Heritage room.  We will start setting up this morning.  More pictures tomorrow.

Soon,
Lynn
