We finished up yesterday at Quilt Camp, it was a whirlwind day with everyone working to finish. Everyone had a finished quilt; we count as finished the one that still needs the binding and one that will be quilted on a long arm. We didn't want to rush to do the binding. Joanna will come back to our regular group meeting in 2 weeks and we will help her finish.
This year our additional helpers made it so much easier; I hope they know how much we appreciated them. I hope they had enough fun to make them eager to do it again next year.
Friday Day 5 2012 Quilt Camp |
I made this collage in Picasa but I was really trying to make a slide show. I am not familiar with Picasa and yesterday wasn't the time to figure it out. I am using it anyway because it shows the quilts a little better than the group pictures. I didn't get as many pictures as I expected because we were spead out over 3 rooms layering and tying. We had a pizza party at lunch time and then the cleanup began even while some of the quilts were being finished.

All the participants and adult helpers minus 2 |
Two of the adults were not able to be with us on Friday. Beth was driving to Hiltonhead with her sisters and Loi had to go back to work. I know for sure Lori would have had more fun working with us.
So...... another year of QC is over
and we have a a lot of nice memories that will stay with us.
Everyone received thank you notes
from the quilters they were assigned to work with.
My thank you notes were very touching;
they made me kind of teary eyed.
It really has been a good week,
certainly worth the time and planning that goes into it.
Some of us are already thinking about next year.
