Finally, some Elim photos

Several of us went up on the Thursday and we were joined by the rest the next day. We arrange tables in the centre of the big room and spread out to work on various projects.


The ice was just starting to melt and move out.

Yvonne perused Poppy's Kathy Wylie quilt pattern.

There were two other groups (quilters) at the retreat centre that weekend. We like to go and 'spy' on them. One of the quilters had this adorable teapot pincushion.

Under the lid is a measuring tape.

The other quilting group had a wool felt appliqué workshop.  We spied on them just as the workshop was getting started.

This was a block of the month quilt in progress.

These small pieces are called postcards.

Back at our lodge, Poppy posed with me for an action shot.

Carol joined us for one day and showed us her 'hexie' quilt that she was working on at our last Elim retreat.

Siobhain put the final stitches into her reproduction sampler.

Sylvia worked on a very small whitework piece without magnification.

Jen stitched on her Bumble Bee sampler.

Louise made progress on her Art Nouveau piece.

Barb stitched another area of her canvaswork project.

Jeanette started this whitework piece last year at EAC Seminar in PEI. She was very close to finishing it at this retreat.

Sylvia and Barb brought their walking poles and got up early one morning to go for a walk.

Sylvia stitched this miniature.

I brought the stuff to make the needle minders which all participants enjoyed. They thought it would be a fun activity at our April Trillium Guild meeting.

A lot of us got a lot of stitching done over the 4 days. Our fall retreat is booked for October 24 to 27.
