I just got back from my latest retreat in Nashville, Indiana. We get to stay at a great place called The Cornerstone Inn. I only get to see these ladies twice a year and really enjoy our time together. The girls at this retreat come from all over--Minnesota, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, and others. This retreat is less about work for me than pleasure. I only do handwork (primarily because the space is SO limited), spend time visiting, and spend time shopping. Nashville has some great little shops and some really good restaurants.
I finished the stitching and cutting out of my extreme embroidery piece. I still haven't decided how I will be displaying or finishing the piece. I also worked on some extreme embroidery pins, my "forever" hexagon quilt, and the hand quilting on my "Bouquets for a New Day" quilt.
Here are some pics of what other people worked on. Several people were working on blocks and didn't show their pieces. Robin worked on a child's quilt. How cute are these!
Karen worked on the embroidery for this miniature.
Nancy finished this baby quilt top.
She also finished this "Bionic Bag." I LOVED this bag--it has LOTS of zippers and compartments. She used an adorable sewing-themed line of fabric from Moda.

That vase is so interesting. From the picture, it looks almost flat, but the flower looks very happy. I love your extreme embroidery piece - that's wonderful on every level. It sounds as if you were quite productive on this retreat. Thanks so much for sharing all the projects going on - I love seeing the variety of things people do at retreats.
You are so lucky to have these retreats!!! I'm envious! I only get to go to bridal showers and weddings! HA Love your pottery purchase! Cool!
I tried to pick my favorite project but I couldn't cull anything out! I loved them all! Good job to everyone!
Your Ikebana vase is fabulous. You don't see them available everywhere.
Of course everyone's work is great. Your piece is most interesting.
Fun, FUN for everyone.
