Yes, I caught circle fever too!

I have collected depression era fabrics for more than 20 years.

It is good to get them into a quilt!

Kathi's pancake pile is getting taller....

This was a great winter retreat for us!

A FULL WEEK of non stop stitching.

We will be back at it on Monday...

Quilters Holiday Luncheon.....

We gathered together at the Quilt Palace

for our Annual Quilters Holiday Luncheon...

The Quilters arrived at 10:00 

and set up their work tables...

It was really stormy outdoors...

by 10:30 the POWER was out!

We had lunch by candle light...

Our activities were most anything that did not require electricity:

Wrapping clothesline rope....to make fabric bowls

Making hand felted balls...

By 1:30 the power was restored:

Everyone fired up their sewing machines 

and got to work!

Wishing you a Quilty New Year!
