KWILTY GIRLS KRZY!

Let's begin with this...shall we!


Add in some FQs for a fun game!


And perhaps there will be a new winner?


Didn't happen I WON AGAIN!

We like to exchange little gifts.
They were opening mine!


They all got a Kwilty Girls Coffee Mug!


We are a flock of flamingoes, after all!







A card I made that wasn't signed
sew they can send it to someone else.


What a huge wrap around porch
when one needed a little quiet time.
Ahh,, we get a bit noisy!


Beautiful hydrangea bushes




Lots of Barn Quilts 




and we shall meet again in January 2025!

KWILTY GIRLS SUMMER RETREAT PROJECTS

When the Kwilty Girls gather,
Kwilty things happen.

Artistry on Evans Retreat House
Tecumseh, MI


Let these photos be your guide to 
how a retreat with us works!

Let's see what Patty Estadt made!










Luncinda brought the color to the retreat!






Tami was blowing it up with more color
and BIG designs.


Two versions of Tami's own Heart pattern.








Kathy was happy to finally finish this Christmas Quilt


And what a lovely Firefly bag by noodlehead!


Kim spent almost the entire retreat working
on this beautiful scrappy quilt!


I got my Ghastlies WONKY Star quilts
back from Kim, who long armed it.


I made a JR quilt for a friend.
She had to downsize and this
was inside many bags of fabrics
she donated
I will surprise her with it!


And I started sewing on my Atumunal
Plaidish Mini Quilt Top






Sew me and Dixie were thrilled that the
Kwilty Girls brought the projects...
and look at the sticker!

THELMA & LOUISE ADVENTURE

August was another outing for besties and quilty things.
Kathy Guenther, my Louise and I were ready for some fun!
Headed to a quilt retreat always means SHOPPING !

First stop was Heavenly Stitches 
near Lima, OH


A perfect name for a wonderful shop.


Loved all the church arches and feeling in this shop!


We visited  smalltown Elmore, OH


with fun shops in the downtown area
including a quilt shop!
Pink Polkadot!
Small but some fun fabrics inside.



Then off to Maumee OH
for another unique LQS 
The Quilt Foundry!





We found a yarn shop, Chickadee Yarns, which is always
of interest to us.  Kathy is an avid knitter.  I play at it.




Found a very MODERN quilt shop in
Milan, Michigan, TEXTILES.


We loved this modern vibe!





Across the street was
Plum Tree Yarn Shop
and of course we needed to check it out!
This bike was yarn bombed!


We had to head to a fabulous yarn shop
in Ann Arbor named SPUN!


While in that town we visited the
 Ann Arbor Sewing Center!

We hadn't heard of TILDA
but it seemed to fill the shelves here.




How stinkin cute is this quilt!


And the last place is where we stayed for the Quilt Retreat
in Techuseh, Xichigan


The Quilt Patch Shop
was within walking distance from the retreat house.


More on the retreat coming...
but wasn't this a fun road adventure!
