SUNDAY SNAPS


SUNDAY SNAPS  

Quilters by the Sea held their annual quilt retreat this week.  It was held at Vina De Lestonnac Convent  in Temecula.  This is our view from the retreat center.  Ah what a “Simple” life.





Getting “Ready” for such a retreat takes a little up-front planning.  But it is soooo worth it.

  
The retreat includes Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.  But this is just a partial bit of the “Food”  hanging out in the kitchen to tempt us quilters.  I doubt we would ever go hungry.



Besides quilting, we were entertained by some of the gals.    Not the best pictures; but, I hope you can tell how much fun we had. 

The first pictures are of The Swimettes.  This has been going on for a few years now.  This year we had 8 brave quilters doing Synchronized Swimming.






Here are our pop singers and ice cream servers, Kasey, Brandi & Carol.  I know it is a blurry picture; but, look at those “Faces” enjoying themselves.



We also had the Ukulele Ladies, led by Vicki Allred; but, alas, I failed to get pictures.  L





Now that I'm home, here “Inside” this basket are a few of the projects waiting to be turned from flimsies into quilts.  Oh my, more UFOs.  But, again, so worth it.  I can’t wait for next year’s retreat.  It really is a happy place to be.


Quilt happy,

Marilyn
