I just returned from the most fantastic retreat EVER!
Here are an overload some photos....(you'll see a LOT of pink).
The theme was "Super Girl" - Corrie made this sky line:
our table scape....
the huge sewing room...
Each of us had this adorable Super Girl necklace to wear...
and....a water bottle with Moose popcorn (to die for).
Our little Super Girl watched over us the entire retreat.
Corrie had kits available to make our own.
One of our meals - an outdoor picnic on metal lunch trays.
Notice the equine rider - he's also wearing a Super Girl mask!
There were swags hung everywhere - so pretty!
Just ONE of the gifts they had made for each of us....a covered notebook. I love mine!
Demos - my sister, LeeLa, showing how to make a poke-a-dot cake.
(she's so cute)
Poke-a-dot cake balls sitting on top of cake batter...
Pour more batter on top & bake!
cute cakes....
And there you go! DOT cakes!
I gave a demo on fleece socks - here is Dianne wearing hers.
So many quilt tops were completed & hung on the railings.
This is Emily's jelly roll.
Amanda's "O's" quilt.
My "Birch Tree" exchange quilt top.
(you can find the pattern here at Crazy Mom Quilts)
before...
after...
My "Spin Cycle" top out of Denyse Schmidt prints.
(you can get the pattern here at Cluck Cluck Sew)
I caught Nancy with a mouth FULL of pins!
Thank you, Des & Corrie, for an amazing week!
(I think they're cheering because it's almost OVER!)
McCall - I'll miss the lake & the beauty.
...sigh...
But wait - there's more!
Stay tuned!
