Virtual Retreat 2017

[Eileen K.]

Thanks! I love Lisa Bongean's patterns. I had the opportunity to visit the shop this past summer.

[E.M. T.]

Me too. Nice and talented lady...met her a few yrs ago when she was here teaching for our
little guild and also in DesMoine at a show.

It's beautiful Marilyn and love the snow pictures but it looks dangerous, take care. I've got snow envy!

Heather your quilt is great too so bright, did you use the quilting that Geneva did on her lovely one.

[E.M. T.]

Thanks ! And dismiss that envy ! I'm sure the charm would wear off fast !...With a shovel in your hands ! :evil: :evil:
BTW....I am supposed to have a row for you...Dec... but have fallen way behind...the severe cold made it hard to sit at
the machine...in front of a window on an exposed north facing wall. :S

[E.M. T.]

Marilyn,
Lovely appliqué!

Please don't thru snowballs at me, but I miss the snow. Well, not the shoveling of it. But I always looked forward to 'sit-n-stitch' time that comes with cold and snowy days. And snuggled on the couch watching videos with my grandkids.

[E.M. T.]

Thanks ! High humidity, heat and hurricanes don't suit me ...guess I'll have to stick with snow! :silly:

[E.M. T.]

What do you think? When I sat down to sew today I reached over to replace this thread with a new color. I'm wondering what did this. Do I have a moth living in my sewing room? Or do you think the thread might have just had some flaw when it was wound?

[E.M. T.]

Wow, those pictures came out huge! LOL

[Terry K.]

If no other thread had that same issue, my guess is that it was wound that way. Bummer!! It is such a pretty range of colors!

Beautiful quilt Marilyn. I've been wanting to try some wool applique.

Our weather in the tri cities has been awful. Last week we moved to a hotel due to some sort of weird Bermuda triangle thing in our driveway. After clearing the driveway 4 times.and being stuck again we gave up. Tuesday and Thursday of this week we've had ice storms.. I am so done with snow and cold.! We are set to break the 1955 snow record. Kids will have to go to school til July.

Not much sewing going on since I'm not home..
Luann that is odd thread! I wonder what happened? It sure is a pretty color.

Take care everyone. Geneva

[wendy w.]

Something four legged and nibbley Luann?

[E.M. T.]

I'd be taking that thread back to the store I bought it in....they should replace it ! I've had flaws in thread before !

[Eileen K.]

Unfortunately, a lot of manufacturers reps say that when they're called.

[Geneva C.]

Luann, odd that they didn't offer to replace the thread. Glad you get to use most of it.

Lotti, I hope you feel better soon.

Heather, I love your quilt! It is so tropical looking. Glad the quilting worked out so nicely. PS. Don't discount the price. You deserve every penny.

Dawn sent this row, Rocky Mountain Winter. Love the colors.
I can't get the photo to complete on the upload over on the rowing group, so I'm going to try it here.










I have no idea if I got three different pictures and if any of them are going to actually show up on this message! Argh!
