Creativity Flowed

We are back from our staff retreat at

The Magnola Manor B & B

in Warrenton, NC.
We laughed!

We ate!

We sewed!

We talked!

We walked!

It goes on and on and on.

The last night we stayed up late talking and laughing, not wanting the weekend to end.

Mary Ellen and Faye hard at work up stairs in the hall. Mary Ellen worked on a dress for her granddaughter and a quilt. Faye made a quilt top.

Ann finished this months BOM block and completed a guilt top.

Beautiful yellows, blues and green hand dyed silks. M-m-m-m-m-m!

We did do a little work. Faye is here putting her classes down on next quarters calendar for Melinda.

Candy is busy working on a beautiful star design on her tiny feather-lite machine.

Muriel is putting together her BOM Bright blocks from TWO years ago.

The other gals not pictured are camera sly. Terri worked on and completed a quilt top. Holly worked on and completed two quilt tops (they were UFO's). Joyce worked on two quilts, a black & white reversible quilt and a black & white Cat quilt. (I believe she likes Black & White, don't you?) Jeannie worked on a table topper and a Professional Tote. And last but not least, Judy worked on a Daisy quilt for her graddaughter Daisy.

The owners, Larry & Shelia Carver were wonderful hosts. The food was great. They and their staff did a wonderful job making our visit so productivity. Thanks for a wonderful, wonderful weekend.
