I'm back from a wonderful retreat weekend!

 Before we got to the retreat center we stopped for lunch, and HAD TO stop at a friend's quilt shop. This was the damage to my credit card... ;)
 I also bought these 2 patterns...
Though the magazines I bought at my local grocery store before heading out...

There was the sign we had to watch for!!! Yippee! We were there!
 Nothing fancy, a kids camp kind of lodge. 
Very comfortable, and wonderful meals...
 Here is the workshop (and dining tables to the right). There was 16 of us participants. A nice size group, and very friendly ladies...
 This is friend Dw's and my work table... I was some concerned that we wouldn't be using chairs, but it wasn't too bad...
 Friday night I finished a 5 year UFO bag... Finally!!
It has 2 outside pockets...
 It is a zippered bag, and still needs 
dowels on each end...
 Two inside pockets too...
 I then started on these 2 Fall table toppers, and finished the tops up on Saturday...
 Love the colors, though they aren't 
true on the photos...

 I also made this Christmas table topper top...
 I got all my Purples cut up Saturday night, and got lots of it sewn this morning...
 I shall keep that project bagged up 
for the next retreat I go to...

The gals that organized this event had 
a "Make & Take" project for us to do.
Luggage Tags...
 I also won one of their 6 door prizes... 
Some wonderful fabrics! Oooo lucky me!
A wonderful time was had...
Next retreat in 2 weeks!!

Hope you all had a safe 
and wonderful weekend too!!
