November 19-23, 2024
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 family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get 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.)

Peggy Narhuminti & Christina Nessler

4 generations




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.  














Table prize drawings.






Deserts were the best




Items for sale




















Gifts



Amylin Robins' secret sister gift

Och!

Good thing there were nurses around!  Be careful!!!  Needle and thread through the finger. 
Name withheld. :)




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.)
