Camp Assiniboia Quilt Gathering

Seven quilters/friends had a pleasant couple of days at Camp Assiniboia. We rent a gorgeous cabin, move all the living and dining room furniture around to accommodate tables, and sew to our hearts content!  Each of us takes a turn making a meal. Yummy. 

 

Marj had a great show and tell for us. She is a prolific sewer and always has lots to show us. This year she worked on a Lego quilt she is making for her grandson, Lucas', birthday - tomorrow. We think she likes to work under pressure!!

Yvonne had quite a few quilts to show us too. With her new Pfaff Embroidery sewing machine she now is embellishing all kinds of things, including quilts. Look closely for dragonflies. 

Faye showed us a couple of pieces she had completed. She also got the top of a quilt done for a friends anniversary for next year. She doesn't like to work under pressure!!

Zandra made a youth commission quilt with very cute fox material. Here it is on the design wall. (I missed getting other photos of the gorgeous quarter triangle patches she was working on.)

Cynthia, trucking for a living friend, sewed up a storm. She doesn't get to sew often as they live out of their semi. She made a bunch of placemats (sorry no photo) and worked at finishing herOne  Block Wonder quilt that she had begun last year at Camp Assiniboia. 

I worked on a Southwest Table runner for my aunt Connie, an abstract art quilt made of squares of various sizes, and a triangle quilt called Toes in the Sand by Jaybird Quilts. Lots of fun. 

I can't believe I never even got one photo of Beth working on her hexagons. She is doing this project all by hand. She started it in Mesa this winter. I think it is very relaxing to do. The best thing is that she didn't have to lug in a sewing machine!!
