FFF - Retreat & Book Reveiw

Happy Friday!

We had a great time at the retreat at Rose Mountain House.  Click Here to see the website.  Thank you Pat for your hospitality and delicious cooking!

Here is a new quilt that I worked on.  It is a 4-patch posie, like my India quilt.  Thank you friends for helping me with the placement of the blocks!



Here is the beautiful view from the Rosa house:



Here are some photos of my friends on this retreat -









sew, barb, sew! You can see Nancy's 4-patch posie on the wall.





And some of our projects:  Nancy's 2 doll quilts, and her special quilt for Emily.  My Lavender quilt.



I actually made a "key" for the color placement - thanks Pauline for your help.

Norma's 4-patch posie -



It was so fun to get away to such a beautiful place and spend time sewing with friends.

Book Review:
Here are 2 books that I like that couldn't be more different.

English family saga, WWII era with a little mystery.  Think Thomas Hardy meets Dickens.



And here is one I just started.  It is a fast forward in time from the Shining.  Vintage Stephen King; funny, creepy and very graphic.

Hope you have a great weekend!
