Great Weekend!!!!

This weekend was one of our most memorable getaways ever! We had several new people this year and they all seemed to have a great time. The food was plentiful and absolutely wonderful as usual!! (I know most of us probably gained a few extra pounds.) Our Friday nite project this year was a stack the deck quilt. Everyone's turned out stunning! The fabric choicest ranged from batiks-florals-homespuns to christmas - fall and a picnic scene. Saturday nite we laughed so hard we cryed. We have already booked our dates for next year and we'll decide on the project in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the pictures up so you can see the projects and mayhem. Please send us any pictures of your projects so we can put them on our gallery section on our website.
