The First Annual Sisters Quilt Retreat


I have two sisters. No, make that two really great sisters! My oldest sister, Gayle, lives in Utah too but about 2 hours away from me. My next oldest sister, Kaye, lives in Alberta Canada. Many hours from me! We all lead very busy lives and consequently don't get together very often. Usually it's Kaye and her family that come here to see us about once a year. Well, this year Gayle and I are driving to Canada to Kaye's house and we are having the First Annual Sisters Quilt Retreat. I call it that in the hopes that we will have a 2nd Annual, a 3rd Annual, a 4th Annual and so forth. I can't think of anything more fun than being with family and there is something really special when it's the sisters getting together. It's been several years since we have all been in Canada together and so I look forward to a really fun time. The only disappointment is that our mom can't come as well. She loves to quilt too and has the greatest stash in the world! It's the envy of us all.

Since this Retreat is at Kaye's she is in charge of the itinerary for the week. She has asked that we each pick a project that we all will do. We are supposed to bring all of the supplies needed for the project. I am keeping my project a secret. I like surprises! But I've decided to give a little teaser. The picture is of some of the fabrics we may use. Some are from my stash and some are from mom's. It's going to be so fun!
