November 14-18, 2023 UVQG Quilt Retreat, Zermatt, Midway, Utah, Part 2: People, Dining, Cool Tools!

UVQG Quilt Retreat @ Zermatt , Midway, Utah

Outside looking in?

To make retreat blog a little more manageable, I'm going to split them into multiple parts.  Part one will be the completed quilt tops.  The second part will be more candid or relaxed shots.

As always, let me know missing names of presenters, and any incorrect names.

If you have additional photographs you would like to include in this post, please send them to me.

Thanks, Nida (njackson@utwire.net)
