    Did You Do the Quilting?
    How many times at your guild’s Show and Tell do you hear that question? When I first started to quilt 10 years
    ago, “sending your quilt out” was a very common phase. I was not in a financial situation that allowed me to do that,
    so I learned to do my own quilting and fell in love with it immediately. What really made me smile was the applause
    I received. While sending your quilt out is always an option, quilting your work should be an option also. This
    retreat is geared toward the novice to intermediate machine quilter ready to explore the many wonderful new
    threads and other tools that have made machine quilting easier and faster. Remember, it’s not a quilt until it’s
    quilted!
Here's an example of what you can do.
So…..Who are you?
In addition to being a serious CSI fan I am what I call the accidental quilter. Wandering aimlessly at
Treadleart many years ago I came across a quilted vest pattern. I was NEVER going to make a quilt so a
garment did not count as really quilting. Well, after cutting the fabric into many pieces and creating a
picture I was not only hooked I was amazed! The guest bed was discarded and the sewing studio was up
and functional over night. Many quilts have been created since that time. Scrap quilts with some black
and white fabrics are now my calling card. In addition to my husband, daughter and two granddaughters,
I have a very supportive friendship group, the Gourmet Quilters. Without them I might be thinner but
not nearly as interesting.
Now a note from the facilitators, Two Wacky Women:

Your time away from home will be spent at the Ayres Hotel located in Laguna Woods, CA. Plan to arrive
early so that you will have time to set up before Frances starts teaching at 10:00 AM.
Most of your meals will be provided. There is wonderful shopping in the area so you may want to spend some
time dining at a local restaurant and visiting a few shops.
