Let the quilting fun begin for 2016! What better way to start than by spending a weekend at Mrs. Miller's Cabin in Charm. This winter in Ohio has been mild thanks to El Nino, but you never know when a change is on the way. After the holidays, I was ready for a change of pace and a fun, wacky weekend with my quilting buddies. What better place to go than "the Cabin."
 |
| The Quilt Shop is within walking distance |
 |
| This is where we spent lots of time eating and "gabbing" |
 |
| There are still oil lamps from the time Mrs. Miller lived the Amish life style in her lovely cabin |
 |
| The Living Room becomes our sewing room |
 |
| Barb (daughter on right) pieced this lovely top during the retreat. We all agreed that it looked like spring. |
 |
| Debbie was piecing her Kansas Troubles. She loves that material! |
 |
| Jackie was working with her favorite batiks |
 |
| Mama Barb was having fun quilting UFO Baby disappearing 4-patch quilts. |
 |
| Carol was stringing her quilt together . . . |
 |
| Look at what Carol made with left over string scraps . . . another start to an awesome quilt! |
 |
| Jackie felt ten feet tall after completing her Falling Charms Batik Quilt! |
 |
| I loved seeing this quilt that was on the bed in the cabin, because I actually have the material to make it. I better get busy! It's stunning!
Driving back north to Kent on Sunday, I ran into snow in Canton and Akron. Luckily the roads stayed clear and I made it home before the lake effect snow machine kicked in - happy to see the garage door open and waiting.
How fortunate I am to have the opportunity to spend quality time with good friends and do something I love - quilt and "gab."
