Sentimental Stitches

A Last Look At The Dear Jane Retreat-Fall 2009

November 25th, 2009 by Gay

There isn’t very much free time once I get home from the retreat.
I’m baking, cooking and cuddling Clutch today. Still have to finish thawing out the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow! I look forward to a few restful days with family and hope to do some hand stitching on one project or another.

I thought I’d share a few more pictures from the Fall 2009 Dear Jane Retreat.

My good friend Theresa took this one of me working on some hidden stitches in the Cherry Quilt.

I took a couple of close-up shots of the Dear Jane quilt we made for Elaine. She’s our coordinator extraordinaire!

A pretty 1930s quilt a Yoder’s.

I just loved these two quilts. A set of preprinted blocks, some simple piecing and you’ve got a great quilt.

A beautiful batik quilt for sale at Lolly’s Home store.

This Piece ‘O Cake pattern is usually made with bright polka dot fabrics but I like this pastel version too.

The lights of Shipshewana on Saturday night. Do you know what the sound is you hear in the background of the video? The video’s a lousy one but the sound is music to my ears.

My last trip through Lolly’s on Saturday.

Sunday morning loneliness.
