Last Call for Spring Card Trick Quilt Retreat

Our first retreat begins tonight; however, you still have another opportunity to join us in April.  There are a few spots remaining for the second Spring Quilt Retreat April 4, 2013 (Thursday) at 5:00 PM to April 6, 2013 (Saturday) at 3:30 PM.

Here are a few pictures of what we will be quilting this Spring. See the post below to register!

Spring 2013 Quilt Retreats

At first glance, you may think these cards are playing a difficult trick on you, but if you cut and sew its patches systematically, you’ll find it goes together with no problems whatsoever. We are using the “Wingin’ It” fabrics by The Buggy Barn, which will make this quilt a fun, whimsical project to complete with your friends!

The 2012 Spring Quilt retreat reached the maximum number of quilters, so we have expanded to two different dates this year.            

• March 14, 2013 (Thursday) at 5:00 PM to March 16, 2013 (Saturday) at 3:30 PM and
• April 4, 2013 (Thursday) at 5:00 PM to April 6, 2013 (Saturday) at 3:30 PM

Fall Retreats Have Begun

The first fall quilt retreat was held this last weekend in Inwood, IA.  What a great time everyone had getting together again.  The different combinations of fabrics used by each quilter were beautiful and unique.  By using the darks for the points, they’re almost floating! You can see some of the different combinations they chose for their Jelly Stars quilt in the pictures below.  One quilter thought her star should be 3D instead of 2D – oops!

There are four quilt retreats yet to come.  For dates and registration information, please click on the ‘Quilt Retreats’ tab above. I hope to see you at one of the coming events!
