Quilt Retreat Day 1

Quilt retreats are not available in Israel as they are in other parts of the world.  So Sara came up with the idea of making our own.  We met in my apartment, the Quilting Corner, and started early in the morning.  Not everyone was available to stay all day so some ladies came and went throughout the day.  What fun we had and we actually did lots of work and learned some new things.

Susan guided Rina on machine quilting.

 

Avilgail cut fabrics for a new pillow.

Shoshana L learned how to complete her binding with a hand stitch on her latest String quilt.

Susan also did some hand quilting in between helping others.

Renee worked on her baby quilt.  I didn't get a picture.

I worked on my hubby's quilt.

Sara is paper piecing a wall hanging.  It's a Rose that is repeated four times and it will be lovely.

 Shifra is also working on a paper piece quilt for her hubby.  This is really lots of work but quilters don't give up.

 

We also love to eat so we stopped for a wonderful Pot Luck lunch and went to Jerusalem for a fantastic dairy dinner.  I'm looking forward to Day 2.
