More pictures from Sisters

Detail of Sue Spargo's fancy stitching
Yesterday was the last day of the Contemporary Folk Art Quilting Retreat in Sisters, and I grabbed a few pictures before dashing off to get back home. I was sorry to not get pictures of everyone's projects, but was able to catch most of the ones being done at the back tables where I was seated. I was also sorry not to get everyone's names connected with their pieces, but if you see yours up here, speak up so we can know who did what!

Love the bird in its adorable little nest!

All I can say is "uh-may-zing!"

      Kristin Shields. :) I just adore her! We were at opposite ends of the room, but had little visits throughout the retreat. She will be the featured quilter next summer in Sisters.

    Keeping yourself in stitches in Sisters, or scraping mold off walls ..
    Guess who was having more fun?
