Quilt Retreat at Zermatt
(Part 2)
We had so much fun, and I took so many pictures that I need multiple pages to show them all. Below is a list of the sections that are elaborated down below. (I tried to do a jump/link to the different sections, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I'm would love suggestions.)
Family, Classes, Dinners, Items for sale, Gifts, Och!, Service Quilts, Uncompleted Projects, Sewing Machines, Tables, Walks/Scenery
Family
We are familyI got all my sisters with me
We are familyGet up everybody and sing
(These are some of the actual families that were there. I was late getting there the first morning and missed all the family connections, but these are a few I found. If you have pictures of mother/daughter/etc. relationships, please send them this way.)

We are family
Classes
Needle Punch
Making Santa Clauses
Bindings
Dinners
We always loved when it was dinner time. Find a table to sit at and hope you table number gets called first. Not always were numbers used to call people into the line for the Buffet.
Also used were the type of sewing machine you were using (Singer Featherweight, Singers,Baby Lock, Brother, Pfaff, Janome, Juki, and last of all, Bernina or any other. I'm sure I'm missing some of the kinds.) and if you had slippers, socks or shoes on.

Service Quilts
Uncompleted Projects
WIPs or Work in Progress. These projects may not be completed but they still have a lot of the "wow" reaction, especially from me. (Some of these, I just snuck in and taken a picture.)
