In the following picture you can see a few more of the retreaters and a few of the door prizes (on the TV tray) that hadn't been won yet.
The ladies each brought baby pictures for one game. For other games they also brought 2 orphan blocks and 2 ugly fat quarters. The challenge to the ladies who won both of these was to use them to make a quilt. Here are the orphan blocks. There were so many pretty ones. It's going to make an interesting quilt.
The ladies seemed to enjoy the door prizes. LindaSue won a border quilting guide roll, Patty won a block carrier roll, Laura won the orphan blocks, Joni won some applique goodies, Joanne won the other block carrier roll, Joan won some thangles, and I was the last one to win so guess who got stuck with, strike that, I mean, who has the priviledge of making the ugly fat quarters into a quilt. Laura brought the fat quarter that was voted to be the ugliest.........some of these fat quarters were really UGLY and are going to be quite a challenge to put together into a quilt. There was one additional door prize, a digital camera; Joni took that one home. Each lady also received a thumb pin cushion stuffed with wool batting so their pins will stay nice and sharp.
We had absolutely wonderful weather.....in the mid-70's.....and were able to eat outside on the patio for all of our meals. What a relaxing time and a great get-away.

Of course, Laura won the blocks!!! LOL She has the best luck! I notice ou didn't show a picture of the ugly fat quarters?? :) It will be interesting to see what you do with them. Looks like a good time was had by all!
I know; isn't she lucky! I got all inspired to turn the uglies into a quilt and have been working on doing that ever since I got back. Two quilt tops are now done - too many FQ for just one top. One top is pretty bright and loud. The other one looks kind of antique and I'll probably use it as a throw up at the mountain home after it's quilted.
