I spent the past 3 days in Oregon, IL at
the Lutheran
Outdoor Ministries Center quilting
with friends. On Thursday evening, tornadoes hit very close to this Center. We shared the campus with a team I think from Arkansas that came to help with the storm cleanup.
This group tries to quilt together once a year and it is so much fun to renew the friendships. We missed Leona this year - she is in Florida with family.
The rest of us enjoyed beautiful weather and visiting with each other.

We worked hard. Bets brought a number of things to work on.
Saundra stayed busy with a large project.
Ann was working on a large project with small pieces.
Barb had a few different things going.
Polly was able to do everything she planned to do!
Krista sat in front of me and accomplished lots.
Sandy wasn't sure why I need to take pictures...
Well... I needed to catch people sitting on the floor, playing with fabric...
... and someone dressing herself in quilt blocks!
In the next post, I'll share some of the projects.
I love retreats, but I would think that the best retreats are ones where a group of friends get together like you all did. How lucky you are to have a group of quilty friends to get together with.
ReplyDeleteYup, agree with Kathy (above) the friendships and the visiting are priceless!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis group of friends just happened to meet at a retreat a few years ago. I'm happy that we get to stay in touch via Facebook and quilt together every year. ~Jeanne
