On our drive to Suttons Bay, we saw a little gallery that had many kinetic wind sculptures in the yard, and these interesting sculptures. So of course, we had to stop and investigate!

And how about a giraffe family in your corn?

This is my totally favorite of Gwen's quilts, EVER! Not only do I want it, I want to make one too! Those liberated stars are 3"!!!! Have I LOST my mind?

| Tiny, tiny stars! |

| Look at that hand quilting! |
And it just wouldn't be a good retreat without a refreshing swim in Elk Rapids. Now, remember the temperature this day wasn't over 60 degrees, and this is a spring fed lake. We were in the water about 20 minutes, but 18 minutes of it was just ME in getting in. The other 2 minutes was me flying out! LOL!

So without further ado, here are some favorites from the class. I don't have all the names mentioned with the quilts, so forgive me for that. There were a couple of new people, and I don't have my class roster handy to put them in the right places. I'll try to get that corrected over the next couple of days, though.

Now, that I am back, I've been pretty busy with some last minute obligations. I had a lunch/tea with my 1966 High School girlfriends today, a stitch day with my Amazing Quilt Babes yesterday, and I have been working on The Rambling River project frantically trying to finish all that I want to do to it before the due date this week. Then this next Saturday I have a trunk show to do about an hour away, and a tea for Breast Cancer that I always make a quilt for their auction each year - and yes, that's going to be picked up from the quilter tomorrow. Does that make you as tired as me? It does for my furry friends!

See you in a couple of days or so with more pictures of what's making me tired, but smiling!

Hmmm, this may be the year that I put together my "liberated martinis" quilt! Thanx for posting the pictures from the second week crowd . . . missed you guys
I love those stars too. And the rest of the quilts are wonderful as well. Such fun baskets!
I fell in love with the tiny stars too. I have been working feverishly on three inch stars since retreat. The top is almost finished.
