What is bound to happen when quilters get together???
An injury with a rotary cutter....
Hopefully this isn't what happens when you and your favorite quilting bunch get together,
but we had a minor mishap before our retreat even got started.
K (no blogger) was preparing to go to the quilt retreat last weekend
and was cutting fabric, not paying attention, and slipped and cut her finger
She went to the emergency room and had to be seen by a hand surgeon
They talked about possible surgery as they weren't sure if she
had cut tendons, or nerves - but NEVER FAIL - she got
the all clear from the hand surgeon and was still able to come
AND SEW!!!
Here are some pics from our retreat in lovely BEAR LAKE!
The view of the Lake... WOW!!
Someone's cutting...
The gals...
I hate ironing - it is the necessary evil in quilting... here is P (no blogger) ironing some blocks
One of my projects...Didn't quite finish... but I LOVE IT!
I used the pattern "Darcy" by Schnibbles
ORNAMENT SWAP
Guess what JoAnne was my partner...
She sent this lovely package with a cute snowman ornament
She didn't even know that I love SNOWMEN!!
Thanks JoAnne...
Thanks JoAnne...
I will definintely do an ornament swap again next year...
That's all folks.... May everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

You've reminded me that I must use my Gypsy Gripper more when I'm rotary cutting! I love the quilt, it looks quite simple to do, yet so effective. Another idea to add to the list.
Tara, that piecing is beautiful! I love the fabrics. Looks like you guys had a great time!
Oh! I have cut my finger like that before! (not as bad that it warrented a ER visit, though--thank goodness!) Your quilt looks FABULOUS....I will certainly be checking out that tutorial.
