Retreat Mt. Pleasant

I just spent three days at a quilt retreat with friends, food and fun! I'm not exactly sure where it was located, but we drove through Manti and through a few other small towns in Utah, up a canyon to this place:

Wilde Oaks! Yes, Wilde with an 'e'.  I think it was in Mt. Pleasant. It was on a mountain and it was pleasant. Look at those friendly faces to welcome us!

Here we are standing on the porch. Do you want to see what we are looking at? Well, I will show you...

Isn't it gorgeous? Lou Ann (the owner) said we missed the fall colors by a week. Oh well,  maybe we will see it next year. None the less, it was gorgeous. The weather was perfect too. Nice and cool!

Here is what we accomplished while we were there.

Kathy worked on Sassafras by Camille Roskelly. She used fall fabrics and it turned out darling. Can't wait to see it with the giant flowers.

Susan got caught up on her 2009 Mystery BOM's from Fat Quarter Shop. Yea, Susan!

Sharon finished her hourglass. Look at the oooh, so cute grandmother's flowers appliqued in the corners.  Yes, that is Sharon trying to hide from the camra. This is Sharon's own design. She is a very talented lady.

Debbie worked on bindings. I love this quilt. The pattern is Spice Cake by Mary's Cottage Quilts. Debbie also worked on her BOM from FQS too.  I forgot to get a picture.

Wendy finished her stained glass nativity by Design's by Edna. Wendy used hand dyed fabrics and it turned out stunning!

This is LouAnn. She is the owner of the cabin. She worked on Scottish Stars.  It is a pattern from a magazine. She is making it for her son-in-law. LouAnn is very generous lady. She has a lot of great quilt tips too!

This is what I worked on. I finished my Christmas version of Center of Attention by Heather Mulder Peterson.  It's from her book Stop, Drop and Roll. I also worked on Presidential Pardon by Sandy Gervais. I think this little turkey is so cute that he deserves a presidential pardon. I'm thinking about stitching on some legs. What do you think?

LouAnn made each of us a pincushion stuffed with wool. It's beautiful. Kathy made each of us this little bag filled with yummy home made caramels. The button was her mothers.  Other's brought food and great quilting tips. I had a fabulous time on this little quilt retreat.

So long farewell, auf weidersehen good-bye.

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.

Goodbyyyyyyeeeee.....

Piece & love,

Dawn
