Karen & I left rather early on Tuesday to visit 6 quilt shops on our way to the cabin stopping at Foley, St. Cloud, Alex, Perham, Detroit Lakes, and Jenkins! 400 miles later we arrived at the cabin. Karen & I always enjoy extra time for quilting so this year we we enjoyed some extra days! We added a new member - Hannah, Laura's youngest daughter. Emma (Laura's older daughter) showed us how she can design and sew her own projects and Natalie kept her Mom busy as well with a project. We think this is a great way to share our love of a very old craft - keeping the next generation interested. My hope is that we are creating a "remember when" memory for the girls. As always the weather lived up to our name "Beat the Heat Quilt Retreat". It was hot but did end up to be very pleasant on Saturday to make sleeping wonderful with bright stars in the evening. Above are pictures of two favorite shops - Bay View in Perham and the Back Porch Quilts in Detroit Lakes. This is a part of the Minnesota Quilt Hop - the state is divided into 7 Sections. There is a group of fabrics designed by Moda specifically for this event. The different quilt shops design quilt blocks which highlight the fabrics. Such fun!
