Retreat Challenge

Just returned from our annual quilting retreat to Magnolia Park Retreat in Odenville, AL.  There were nineteen of us in "quilting retreat bliss".  We had a great time!  The food was delicious once again.  Being the semi leader of this trip, I decided we needed a challenge.  So.... I issued the color book challenge.  I purchased 2 Spring color books and challenged the ladies to choose a color page, tear it out, and interpret it into a door hanger or other decorative item.  Here are the results:
I thought the ladies that accepted the challenge did a great job!  We plan to finish them for our next business meeting in May.
Enjoy!
Buzz for now,

First Completed Quilt of the Year!

Finished this quilt last week.  Gave to some special friends.
I'm going to have to work on my photography, ugh!  The fabrics are beautiful botanical batiks, but they don't show up very well in this picture.  
The name of the pattern is "Off Track".
Buzz for now,
