KWILTY GIRLS GIFTS

I’ve been at home a lot.
I’ve been in my sewing room a lot.
I love my Kwilty Girls a lot.
I made them a gift for Winter Retreat!

The Piecemaker Project Bag!
I tried to match fabric to maker!
Each bag has two things that say ME!

KWILTY GIRLS WINTER RETREAT 2026

I made it to a Kwilty Girls Retreat!
I have missed sew much the last 6 months due to
My hubby s health. He is getting better
And finally at a place where I felt I child leave him alone.

He did habe a friend take him to lunch and check on him.
And his daughter covered one day for me
Sew nice to have some backup.
Caregiving is a full time job…
I need a raise!

This girl needed GIRL TIME.

It may have begun with my 
Wonky FG Patty quilted for me!
Celtic Sea w Mustard thread!


I sewed up this Scot’s Plaid design for my hubby.
He turns 80 in February and 
Was a TV repairman for 40 years!
This is his bday gift!
And a great steak dinner!


Then I made the Quilty Love design top
Using AnnaMaria Horner scraps 
that Kim Hensey gave me!



Kathy Guenther was thrilled to get her FOREST quilt
Patty had quilted for her. 
Love that E2E design!


This one, Play a Card, was also quilted by Patty 


Kathy spent most of her time over the weekend
Working in this beautiful Flying Geese Quilt top.


Lucinda Miller is always a busy bee at retreat.
Her rendition of Twusted Geese, Zen Chic is lovely.
She’s becoming a master at LV scrappy backgrounds.


She was knitting! Her first dish cloth!


She made a quilted basket!


Finished a floor rug pattern by Tami Pfeil 


Tami Pfeil was sewing uo this design she created 


And we can’t wait to see what this Nutcracker
When Tami finishes it !


Kim Hensley was making this Flag Quilt for her
Sin ti be nephew who is getting his US  citizenship soon. 


And this fabulous baby Quilt made in low volume log cabins 


Patty Estadt worked on a charity quikt.


And spent most of her time sewing together tractors! 
 Of course, hers were much cuter…I can’t find the pic!


Our next retreat is in April and my fingers are crossed
That I can attend that one too!

KWILTY GIRLS AT THE WOLF!

A continuation of shennigans 
by the Kwilty Girls
at our June, 2025 retreat
at The Wofangel Retreat House.

JUST BEFORE IT CLOSED!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

These are Lucinda Millers quilts.
Most of the tops she had made and brought to retreat
for our Show n Tell!

She loves teal and wine colors!







This pumpkin was being created by
Michelle Tinker


Kathy Guenthers' creative endeavors



Kathy's quilt back from longarmer


This is the back...


Patty Estadt loves her charity tops!
I know she had more quilt tops...
but I'm lost to where they are!


Tami Pfeil had her flags flying!


And her hearts out!
This was made prior to retreat
and the long armer brought it to her.


this is the back...


And I spent most of the time making these Sweet Mae quilt blocks.


Pretty sure I missed getting photos, but you get the picture!

BYE BYE TO THE WOLF!

The Kwilty Girls were one of the last quilting groups
to enjoy Wolfangel Retreat House in Cincinnatti, OH
It was a lovely mid-century modern design house,
set back from the main road, into the woods.


A welcoming entrance, lower level, at the bottom of the
spiral staricase. 


A fully stocked kitchen for eating in or simply playing games
at the huge table.



Plenty of space in the creative space!





A back porch that had seating for meal
and overlooked the wooded ravines.


A downstairs on-suite for two lucky, elderly folks, Me and Kathy
to enjoy!




The basement had plenty of bedroom and beds
and I'm so happy I didn't have to use the spiral staircase to get there.

We all enjoyed this one.
Sad to see it close.
