Quilt retreat Gwen Marston ( 1)

In the beginning of the month,
I went with my friend Isabeau and Lucy to Michigan to join
the Gwen Marston Retreat in Elk Rapids.
We stayed together with Bonnie Hunter is a Holiday house.
It was a great experience I have a lot of designs in my head,
we met a lot of nice people, made a lot of new friends.


At the retreat we met Mary Elizabeth Kinch and Biz Storms they wrote
the book Small blocks, Stunning quilts
And I was with my friend Bonnie Hunter who wrote
the book Scaps and Shirttails.
Here you see the picture Joes,Lucy , Isabeau with the writers of the books.
