Retreat Show and Tell Quilts

I've been back home from the retreat for a few days but have been helping  take care of a sick cat and trying to get her to eat.  She spent the day at the vet's office yesterday so hopefully she will start improving soon.
We had quite a variety of quilts at show and tell on Friday night.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Calico Garden


Beautiful applique'


Farmer's Wife


Orca Bay


Apple Core


Postage Stamp


Dear Jane made entirely of music fabrics. 


Amish Circle


Dear Jane in red and white


New York Beauty


Love the secondary design of this one.


Quilt made using 3 inch swap blocks.


Another gorgeous quilt using 3 inch swap blocks.


The center of the blocks in this Christmas quilt are from another 3 inch block exchange. 


And remember...................


The rest of my retreat photos are posted here.

 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit today!

  23. Nothing better than a good Show 'n Tell. The quilts made with the 3 inch swap blocks are busy but oh so interesting. Would be fun to study all the different blocks.
