Retreat Photo's

I was off to attend an annual quilting retreat last Thursday for four fun filled days with the best group of  quilters.  Our hostesses do a fantastic job organizing the retreat with meals, one dinner out at the Elephant bar,  snacks, classes, a block lotto, door prizes, show and tell and a guest speaker.  I'll give them a Gold Medal on this one.  Yes, I've been watching the Olympics too much.
I took a lot of photo's so I hope to share them in the next week.  I'll start with some quilts made by our guest speaker the award winning quilter, Terri Doyle from Gilbert, AZ.  Terri won a first place award on one of her quilts in Paducah and a second place in Houston.  She's won numerous awards in other shows, such as Road to California and here at the Arizona Quilt Show.  I'm in awe of her gorgeous quilting.  I hope it's okay to share photo's of her quilts here on my blog since I'm giving her credit.  I know her quilts are posted out on the web, so I hope it's not a problem.

Feathered Star Quilt made by Terri Doyle, Gilbert, AZ

Terri Doyle won an award on this quilt at the 

Arizona Quilt show a few years ago.

I wasn't able to get a front view of this quilt.

You can see some block lotto blocks on the back wall.  

The blocks are bright batiks on a Moda Marbles background.  

I hope you enjoyed the show and tell.
