This is the second ' year our little Goondiwindi group have been to Loxton Lodge Inverell for retreat. It was a very cold weekend but the Lodge was cozy inside. Cold nights and mornings but beautiful sunny days.This is a very well set up retreat venue. We are booked for next year.
Gail has been intent on getting through her stash so she worked on a couple of simple quilts. I think the colours made them special. 2 down plenty to go.

I was trying out the “Rapid Fire Hunters Star “ ruler. I chose Gingham from spotlight. Peg made a quilt last year that inspired me. It was a slightly different way of doing Hunters Star than the one I chose.

Gails quilts may have a simple construction, but they are certainly eye catching. Sometimes, simple is best. I love your stars, very bright and pretty. Looks like you ladies had a great retreat.
It sounds like you had a fabulous time at your retreat. Gail’s quilts are great. I do like the way you made the Hunter Star block. It is turning out to be a bright fun quilt. I hope you’ll bring it to Baradine.
How fun to be away on retreat. There were some lovely projects being worked on. Good job with the hunters star
The Hunter's Star looks interesting. What fun!
Lots of work going on! I love gingham so your quilt project speaks to me
Love those star blocks Jenny.
The gingham looks good.
One of the pictures looks like there was a dress code....wear stripes!
