Carberry Retreat Sew & Tell...

As with most retreats, you see the results from some wonderfully creative ladies... 8-)
Some traditional, some very artsy, and some just for fun!
Once again, sorry about the blurred photos...







A great retreat weekend was had, and I get to do this all over again at the end of April, but with my city group!!! 8-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll let you know what we did for Easter after the weekend...
It will be different, and I should have lots of photos! 8-)

Have a wonderful Easter weekend with your families!!!
God bless!

Retreat Vendor Table Goodies...

... that had to come home with me! lol! 8-)

Here are the fabrics I came home with. The fat quarter bundle's colors were just calling to me, the Bali Pop strips of reproduction fabrics were an absolute must since I don't have any in my stash, and the Go Green fabric I thought would be good for totes/bags...
A darling pattern, possibly for a future grandchild, and cute socks as I needed some anyway... 8-)
I had been looking for a corner trimmer for a while, and the fusible quilters grid came home just because of the demo we had at the retreat. Would be great to try out a water color project!

To the left is a reminder of the Quilt Show that is to come the weekend after Easter, so if you are in my area, this would be something to check out! 8-)
It is put on by the Manitoba Prairie Quilters Guild...

To the left is the pamphlet cover of the place I go to for a quilt retreat every March, put on by the Carberry Quilters. This was my 5th year attending!!! Always a good time...
It is a great place for a group of 35 to 45 quilters to have a fun and productive weekend...

Some retreat Sew & Tell tomorrow...
Myra

PS: to all my blogging friends that I keep in contact with, please forgive my low amount of comments/visits on your blogs... I'm a busy mother of 2 brides, 2 wedding quilts, a daughter of a mother that still needs some help, and trying to fit in my quilting fun with others...

Have a wonderful Easter weekend...

Mystery Quilts...

One gal, Gw, offered her time to lead a Mystery Project for those interested in doing so! Besides a list of fabrics to bring for it, the ladies had to make 3 - 12.5" blocks prior to coming to the retreat.
They are all so different because of their colors/fabrics, and the 3 blocks!
Please excuse the blurry photos... I was very uncomfortable while taking the photos, because of back pain from the weekend, and a few quilts were shown upside-down...
You'll get the idea of how they look though... 8-)

I myself regret not taking part in this Mystery, but I know that gals all had fun with it! 8-)

The first 2 quilts are Gw's Mystery samples...
My vendor table purchases tomorrow! 8-)
