Olympia Quilt Retreat 2011

After many years of having Hearthside/Patched Works
quilt retreat at Lakelawn Lodge, it found a new home
at Olympia Resort in Oconomowoc.  The set up was
great!

 Julie....Our fearless
leader! 

Mary flies in from
Colorado each year.
I always look forward
to seeing what she's
working on.  She has
very similar taste to
mine in art quilts.

Robyn joined us a few
years ago and is a
real hoot. When you
first meet her you
think she's on the
quiet side.....Wrong!

 Laurie has a sweet
tooth equal to mine....
which is pretty bad!
She is usually in charge
of the chocolate supply :-)

 Susie Q can always
be counted on for her
fine wine!  She started
an annual retreat at her
place in Coloma last
fall.  Talk about spoiling
us!

and then there's Beth....
She is probably the
most prolific quilter
I know.  Plus she's a
hell of a lot of
fun to be around.

Julie put us all together
in a corner.  Do you
think she was trying
to tell us something?

Kim Schaeffer is an
author of many books,
patterns, and fabrics.
She gave a short
talk and then shared
all her quilts from her
newest book.
