The Chicago Modern Quilt Guild goes on retreat twice a year and so far I haven't missed it! I am known for always bringing some kinda baked good, this time 2 cakes to celebrate Jen and Rachel's Birthdays! Retreat is such a fun time to get to know people in the guild better and get some sewing done!
The first thing I did upon arrival at retreat was finish making all these zip pouches.
Ya...lets just say some of these should have been done before the retreat cause they were being given away at retreat but hey, I finished them on Friday after we got there!
Here are some shots of the room we are in at the Siena Center...I swear no tornado passed through, we just unpacked a bit. A few supplies. And fabric. And machines...
Ah! Beautiful people and lots of sewing just what we all needed!
My room all made up, you can't beat the charm. I never get too much accomplished at retreat, too many people to talk to, but I will share later what I did finish, from the doll dress to the quilt!
Love it!! And "MINE!" on the bed! :) I'm so sad that I missed this retreat!
ReplyDeletemmmm cake!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looked so nice on your bed! I need to make a quilt for myself to use just for retreats :) Your cakes were so pretty, too, and tasty. My birthday won't ever be near retreat time, so I guess that means I don't get my own cake :)
