I had so much fun enjoying the Jelly Roll Races quilt, that I decided to teach some others how to do it.  We had 7 ladies come to our home Nov. and they did super.  Here they are.

This was Becca Ivy's firt time ever to sew anything.  She caught on very quickly.


 Carol Fredere came and mended a quilt.

Quilt Retreat on Blue Mountain Sept. 2013

I had a great time at our Grayson Country quilters retreat this year.  We learned how to make a simple jelly roll quilt.  It was so easy I made 3 tops while I was there.  In addition Jonny Imlay taught us how to make twister quilts, and Debbie Bayles taught us how to do a cute pumpkin wall hanging.  I was able to finish all five projects...a record for me, as I haven't made a pieced quilt since I was guild president two years ago.  Here is what I made:

 Ashley, my daughter-in-law helped me make the circle embellishments for this polka dot quilt.



I also finished two table runners, as well as this Halloween  wall hanging.

My first jelly roll quilt, which reminded me of the ocean, so I added on the fish
