CQFA Retreat Work

The last weekend was spent at the CQFA Retreat. We go to a small town on the coast about half an hour away. It is perfect, because I don’t have to drive very far and it is beautiful. Rhonda and Angela came to the CQFA Retreat for the first time. It was great, because they … Continue reading “CQFA Retreat Work”

CQFA January Meeting

CQFA was last Saturday. It was an All Quiltmaking All the Time kind of day, because BAMQG was on the same day. Good, but a bit exhausting.

First, we changed our meeting … Continue reading “CQFA January Meeting”

I came into the room late and everyone was ready to go, so I had to be quick about the … Continue reading “ATCs from CQFA”

She took a long course (certificate program??) in Seattle that ended last year and is diligent. When she comes to the meeting she brings works that are very different from … Continue reading “ATC Follow-up”

More on the Quilt Retreat

I have a lot of talented colleagues who also attended the quilt retreat. I realized, after I got home, that the pictures I thought I took only were taken in my head. Sigh. Dolores, for whom I made the pencil roll, is really making progress in her work. She takes classes deliberately from well respected … Continue reading “More on the Quilt Retreat”
