Camp Part III: Dishtowel Diaries & Schnibs Info

On Saturday evening we have a "group session" and this year it was titled Dishtowel Diaries". (last year we had the Pincushion Diaries). It's a fun time to share our little treasures... that not just anyone would appreciate! The stories that unfold are so fun, endearing and surprising!
I also had my apron collection at the retreat to exhibit. I found these old wooden clothes drying racks, via a friend, and I was able to show them off pretty well.






Linda G. had several to share and this one hear just spoke to my heart.

It was so sweet and I loved the vintage green... just look at the back! The ties slip through the center before you tie it. I haven't seen one like that before!









These dishtowels have tatting on them. They are new but embellished with a very old art.


and these dishtowels were so adorable... I can't tell the whole story but
they aided in the capture of spies in WWII. Seriously! F.B.I. and the whole shebang!
If you really want to hear it... I can tell you about it latter.

I get to know a person so much better by having a little story to connect them with.
The sharing these women did really made my weekend special!

Now for other matters...
I have Schnibbles on the brain right now! I did not get to work on my Schnibbles pattern over the weekend at all... I don't know why I even thought I could!
So, now I am really behind the eight ball... trying to find time to work on our
November Big Reveal!
I know you are anxious to see it... right?
Are you finishing up the October project?
Whenever you do finish your October Schnibble please put a post on your blog and email me a link to it. That way it will be easy for me to organize the Parade of Schnibbles!
Sherri and I are looking forward to the next go-round... so let's see what you've got!

No Worse for the Wear


This is about my weekend at Bass Lake
at Pine Needles Quilt Camp. ..
but I have to confess the title of this post is a lie!
I am a little worse for the wear!
But I had a good time and I think everyone there had a good time also.

It started out being a quiet morning as you can see...



It didn't take long after breakfast for
the day to really begin. You wouldn't believe all the action that was going on!
But we took a break for a photo shoot of sorts. Unfortunately this year I wasn't able to get the "entire group" in one photo. Darn it!
A few simple snapshots of some of our little groups...



These girls... well, you see, are having a bit of a time trying to get it together.

Let's check back in on them latter.


You wouldn't believe the talent that this group has!



Let's see how those girls are doing now...



Okay, maybe we'll check back in on them and see if they can


stop laughing long enough for a picture.



These girls are just adorable!



These girls are my new friends!

And here are some old friends...




All right. I think "they" finally got it together for the group shot!

Ahhh, finally!
(I know I shouldn't look like I was having so much fun... but I was!)


I wish I could tell you the stories about this group... if I could
I would...
We do have some proof of some quilting actually going on!




I have more pictures to share tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping in!
