Weed Whackin' at Retreat!

Shelly sent me a great email with pics from her guild's retreat! She had asked earlier if she could demonstrate Weed Whacker to the girls, and I said OF COURSE!

They are the Illinois Valley Quilt Guild in Ottawa, IL. The retreat was held at Cedar Creek Retreat Center in Marseilles, IL!


It looks like they had a great time, not to mention a great room for their machines at retreat!


The pics speak for themselves. Wonderful Colors, lots of scraps being sewn up.





Great Job Girls!

  7. I'm just getting caught up. I'm so sorry to see that someone is trying to profit off your designs. You are so generous to share and give of your talent. Bummer that someone has the audacity to steal from you. Glad you're over the crabbiness. I love the string star quilt!
