Quilt Retreat took place last week. It was held at Camp Harmony. Thank you to everyone that attended and helped make it a huge suc- cess. We all have memories that we’ll cherish for weeks to come. There were many completed projects, lots of great food, and loads of fun. Plans are already in the works for next year. Check out the Classes and Events sections and mark your calendars for the next few months. They’ll fly by, just like Summer did! When the rain finally quit at the be- ginning of July, summer seemed to just fly by! Somehow I’ve missed the “dog daze” and canning season and berry picking. When I was young my “elders” always said the older you get the faster time flies. I’m beginning to understand that all too well. I hope your summer has been rewarding and you’ve seen it come to a close with health and blessings. In the end, isn’t that what really matters? Diane and I had the opportunity to attend Moda’s annual Open House in August. Visiting Dallas, Texas at 99° is an experience in itself. But the What a Whirlwind Summer! Moda Warehouse was cool and huge! We navigated through the many isles of fabric racks with large carts. Moda’s owner, Mark Dunn, joined the atten- dees for a Texas dinner in the evening. He is very personable and has a great passion for the quilting indus- try. He’s pictured here in the purple tie. This year’s Summer Get Away The Fabric Rack Holly Taylor is one of Moda’s most popular designers. She has teamed up with Doug Leko from Antler Quilt Deigns and cre- ated another hit called Winter’s Song . Most of you remember last year’s sensation, Through the Winter Woods. Well, Winter’s Song has just as many pat- terns and coordinates. You’ll love it! Quilting Treasures has re- leased several panels for Christmas this year— Jolly Old St. Nick, Rejoice, Christmas Bell, and Rejoice . They each have co- ordinating fabrics and free download patterns. QT is also well know for their out- doorsy designs. Bear Coun- try is just what the man cave ordered. There are kits available, as is the case for most every sample on dis- play. Northcott’s Christmas re- lease this year is Reindeer Prance . As with the previous years (tree & wreath) we are featuring the blue color way. Doesn’t every little girl dream of princesses, ponies, and magic castles? With the help of a panel you still have time to make her dreams come true. Little Princess with its coordinates will make a quick project for that special little girl. Are there any folk art fans in the crowd? Red Rooster had you in mind when they de- signed Christ- mas Whimsy. There’s a free pattern that incorporates the panel blocks with pine- apple fram- ing. Gotta see it!

Quilt Retreat took place last
week. It was held at Camp
Harmony. Thank you to
everyone that attended and
helped make it a huge suc-
cess. We all have memories
that we’ll cherish for weeks
to come. There were many
completed projects, lots of
great food, and loads of fun.
Plans are already in the
works for next year.
Check out the Classes and
Events sections and mark
your calendars for the next
few months. They’ll fly by,
just like Summer did!
When the rain finally quit at the be-
ginning of July, summer seemed to
just fly by! Somehow I’ve missed the
“dog daze” and canning season and
berry picking. When I was young my
“elders” always said the older you get
the faster time flies. I’m beginning to
understand that all too well. I hope
your summer has been rewarding and
you’ve seen it come to a close with
health and blessings. In the end, isn’t
that what really matters?
