Thread Tales From A Scrappy Quilter

Kathryn Zimmerman's Dogwood Winter took 1st place at Old Man River Quilt Fest  in small wallhanging category!   This is it's 2nd 1st place ribbon, the other being at Duluth, Minnesota Quilters Quilt Show. No pictures from Vicksburg but we had friends in Duluth and got photos!     Congratulations Kathryn!   It sure is exciting seeing these pieces that I longarm quilted win ribbons!       A fellow Innovian was at the show and tagged me in her photos!   Thanks Teresa!       

Once again we had an amazing time of creativity and fellowship during our retreat this year.  Often, we laughed until tears streamed down our faces!   We have a great group of ladies, many have been at all our August Twelve Pine Retreats as well as other events together.  Lots of long hours of sewing but oh my gosh look at the results.   Highlights of some of that productivity are posted here.
