Here are some pictures from our 2010 Quilty Pleasures Retreat Weekend at Camelot.



Brigitte and her Fun & Done table runner. Yes, it's done, and yes, she had fun!

Charlene's Fun & Done is taking a little bit longer, since it's a crib quilt.

Diane takes a Quilter's Fitness Break (aka the Fat Quarter Toss).

At most quilt shops, WOF stands for Width of Fabric, but at Quilty Pleasures, it means Wheel of Fortune. Here, Dianne takes a spin and tries her luck.

Elaine and Marilyn cutting it up.

JoAnn's whole-cloth cougar took up most of her weekend, and it is going to be spectacular.

Joanne's Fun & Done variation meant fussy-cutting lots of cardinals, but it was worth the effort!

Shelley's goal was to finish up some UFO's. Her stained glass dragonfly was the first one she knocked off the list.

June had a great spot by both the fireplace and the window with its fabulous view – no wonder she's smiling!

Lorraine found the best cure for the common cold is attending an uncommonly good retreat!

Lyse, who got the prize for getting the prizes!

Although you can't see it in the picture, Sherrill had a cast on her left hand. Luckily, it didn't affect her spirits or her sewing at all!

Louise uses forceful body language to get her fat quarter into the bucket.

Another Fun & Done, this one completed by Marie-Claire.

Paulette attends to pressing matters.

Sharon spins the wheel to see what's in her immediate future.

Judy had the distinction of travelling the farthest to attend our retreat. She lives in Napanee, but stayed in Orleans for the weekend.

Louise and Lynn at their machines.

Jubilation as Lorraine lands her fat quarter on the first try.

Mimi working on her Whale Tail table runner.

Mystery Sewer #1 and Mystery Sewer #2.

The meals were great, and so was the company.

Lyse shows off her prize pattern, Wine on the Vine, with an appropriate prop.

Marie-Claire and Brigitte have gone to school together, worked together, and, now, retreated together.

Marvin, the Janome Horizon mascot, gets measured.

Louise never gave up!

Shelley took the fitness break seriously, by running to claim her prize.

Sherrill and Elaine worked on the same quilt pattern, with dramatically different results.

Here's a stop-action shot of Susan nailing her FQ toss.

Susan applauds her own victory.

Suzanne and Pam share a table and a joke.

Sylvie and Marvin play Bedtime Bingo.

Hmmm, that looks a lot like Mystery Sewer #1.

Louise takes a brief break.

It was a fantastic retreat, with a great group of ladies. Can't wait to do it again next year!
