Retreat - Lisette, Susan & Jan

Our final installment of last week's retreat will include our 3 remaining seamstresses, Susan, Lisette, and Jan. 

Lisette did lots and lots of small blocks for School Girl Sampler. This is one organized quilter - just look at the labeling and orderly stacks.

She also needed to attach a border to this gorgeous quilt. What a great eye for reproductions she has, as seen in the close-up.

Susan finished off a baseball-themed quilt, a snowball quilt and a reproduction quilt with dozens of flying geese units.

 

Susan hoped to finish this quilt and discovered that she did not bring fabric for the last of those flying geese. It's almost done!

Here's the snowball quilt. Her task for part of one retreat day was making a zigzag border. I really didn't pay attention when Susan shared details on this quilt, so I have no further tidbits to add. I do like the looks of the blues with the tans. It's a great look.

And here is her baseball quilt. I think she shopped locally for the border and added it at retreat. She also prepped the backing for this quilt.

Jan worked on 2 quilts from beginning to end - and by end I mean that she not only attached all borders, but also prepared backing and binding for each. 

From this organized and well-sorted supply of parts, Jan built a Courthouse Steps quilt that looks amazing.

After finishing the Courthouse Steps, Jan pulled out a jelly roll project with some panels stitched into each block. The result is a fine looking Christmas quilt.

And that concludes my wrap-up of last week's retreat. What fun we had. The food was great; the conversations were all over the place; we did a bit of shopping; we did some dreaming and wishing for future projects. Successful in every way.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
