Last weekend, Mr. Ziggy and I went on a retreat with 12 other ladies. Yep, Mr. Ziggy was the only guy who was there, but he LOVED all the attention. The following picture is the view from the sewing room -- talk about a bit of Heaven on Earth.
The following picture is of a double wedding ring top that one of the ladies finished while at retreat -- bee-u-te-ful!
This was a quilt shown by one of the ladies. It was pieced in 1931 by her grandmother and finally finished just a few years ago. It was an awesome quilt.
This is a rug -- YES, I said a rug. Debbie (shown) made it for her bathroom. It was beautiful -- made from batiks. It is the 'quilt as you go method'.
And, finally, Mr. Ziggy! He was enjoying his view from being perched upon the rulers.
Ya'll stay tuned for more pictures.........................
Joyce is a fun person who retreats with us. Look at that precious chicken pin cushion. I love me some chickens/roosters (but not the real ones -- LOL)
This is a precious baby quilt that Debbie was putting together. Gotta love that sashing!
And here is crazy Bobbie! She is watching Brenda show her latest wallhanging.
Urggg....Mr. Ziggy hit the dump cake and has passed out from eating so much!
Last year at retreat, we had a 'cutting bee' and exchanged different sizes of strips of Civil War fabrics. This is the top Kathleen put together -- Jacob's Ladder.
Isn't this the cutest thing??? The skirt on the girl is 3-D...you can lift it up! This is to be the center of a quilt for Joyce's granddaughter.
