A Finish! Pegs

Pegs, a Mountainpeek Creations design, fabrics by moda,

Post-retreat Monday

This weekend was our annual quilting retreat up at Shekinah Lodge near Waldheim.

It was such a good weekend. These are a few shots of the retreat center building that we go to.

On the road, driving to the retreat

It is a large timber frame building

A view of the ironing and cutting tables

The dining area

The view from where I was sitting

Up high in the back is the upstairs landing where the knitters had a very cozy nest. They were such a nice group who came this year for the first time. 

Lots of windows

One last finish on Sunday-- Jenn 's Counterpoint.  She did get the borders on too.

These were all on the main floor of the building.  They have a very cozy lower level too, with a huge fieldstone fireplace.  

I think everyone made a lot of progress on their projects.  I was sitting across from Jaclyn who pieced four baby quilt tops, and quilted 2-1/2 of them! 

I was able to get a lot done too, so hopefully I will show a few finishes in the next few days.

We already have the dates for next year-- November 21,22, and 23rd! 

Happy Halloween!

This Morning

This is a picture of what's on my ironing board this morning

It's hexagon quilt made from jellyroll and cut with my hex 'n more ruler

I started it last week and I am just loving the colors of the fabric. 

I was inspired by beautiful quilts seen yesterday at the Saskatoon guild show in Saskatoon

It's also on today until 6 PM ,Saturday ,and I will be going there again in a few minutes.  

These couple of quilts that Carly made that I just love. Carly is the president of the modern quilt guild here in Saskatoon and she writes a blog called citric sugar.

I pretty much adore anything that she sews

If you leave now you can go see these things for yourself in person!

New Fabrics

Some beautiful fabrics arrived this morning! 

Aren't these ones pretty?  I must say they cheered me up a bit on this dreary overcast day,

This is a new moda line by Sandy Gervais.  I think it's called Soho Chic

These gray green and turquoise ones I just love-- of course more typographic prints, ( sorry Molly,)

This little kids grouping has a wide border print and a few go alongs,

And of course lots of new pre-cuts!  

So I hope we will be well stocked up for this coming Friday and Saturday when the Saskatoon Quilt Guild will be holding its quilt show.  I've been thinking about it for weeks!   Looking forward to both the quilts and also seeing the people that will be there.
