Wonderful Wednesday - Pedal Pushers Retreat - Day Four (and Five)

Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday!!  This is the final installment in the min-series of posts about the progress made during last week's Quilt Retreat in the North Carolina mountains.  Keep reading to see how it wraps up.

DAY FOUR - Our last full day begins now...

Colleen started a new project:


Here is a closer look at how the finished quilt will look:


Nat shared her Fancy Forest quilt from off her bed:


This morning found Tiffany cutting for another bag project...


As Stephanie was giving Denise an embroidery tutorial:


Johnnie was busy working on a Dallas Cowboys quilt:


Nat has moved on from Fall to flowers...


While Natalie worked on a sweet 9-Patch and HST quilt:


Drum roll, please!!!  Anita completed the pretty purple quilt top she has been constructing:


This morning Alice is making some Rope Bowls:


My apologies to the owner of this phone...


I know that you were inspired by the photo above and that the quilt was made using the pattern below:


Marilyn finished another quilt top...


As Tiffany quilted through her stack of bag components:


Annette has the border on her Kaleidoscope quilt top:


Alice is now making a Quilted Jacket from one of Tiffany's classes:


Linda is constructing more blocks for...


Her Snow Goose quilt:


With the final panel complete, Alice tries to decide which piece will go where on her Quilted Jacket:


C2 is trying to decide if the purple centers are "too much" for her next quilt top:


Will she finish this large bag by bedtime???  Tiffany hopes to, which is why she is SEW focused:


If memory serves me correctly, these are Carol's beautiful blocks:


Ta Da!!  Michelle just sewed the last seam of her next quilt top.  She's not thrilled by the trimming:


Look what Tracy just made:


Denise has a secret, but we're not sharing it here!  Carry on with the squaring up:


This is the pattern she is using:


Alice borrowed Colleen's Bowl Cozy template a little while ago and now she has one of her own:


Zoom in on the stack of Bowl Cozies nested behind Colleen's machine:


Is this a look of pleasure or pain???  Time to turn the bag inside out:


Whichever it was, she moved on to helping Alice with her Quilted Jacket...


And then it was time for an adult beverage shared by C2:


It was an interesting Argentinian wine that tasted as if you were drinking a flower:


Just before bedtime, Natalie completed the top of this sweet baby quilt for her new granddaughter:


 Then, in a flash... It was time to head for home.  :o((

DAY FIVE - Most people are all packed up and ready to go, but I thought you might like to see Marilyn's awesome Duffle Bag/Backpack...


AND...

The last quilter sewing:


By all appearances, this class sample is complete:


Let's leave it at that.  As you well know, the secrets of Quilt Retreat STAY at Quilt Retreat!!!
