Clue #1 - Rangeley Ribbon

Image
 Woohoo, let's get started!  The first set of blocks in Holiday Retreat are Rangeley Ribbon!  We will be making (4) of them!   The first formal retreat I taught at was in Rangeley, Maine. I will always be grateful to Dan and Carol Perkins for inviting me to teach at the inaugural Spring Quilt Camp.  After one or two years, I started teaching at Fall Quilt Camp and then took Fall Quilt Camp over when Dan and Carol retired and closed their Threads Galore Quilt Shop. So many great friendships were born at Rangeley Fall Quilt Camp! Rangeley, Maine holds a special part in my heart, and I know it does for so many other Quilters over the years.

Here we go! Holiday Retreat Clue 1!

Are you Ready?  Here we go! First, I have a Welcome Video for all of you!  Note: if you are are enrolled in Clue and Class this video is the same as the one in your curriculum.  

Glorious Splendor Reveal!

Image
 Well, it has been 18 weeks of Clues and we are at the reveal of my favorite Quilt Mystery to date!  I absolutely love this Quilt.  Here is Glorious Splendor. Glorious Splendor - Paisley Rose version I hope with each Clue you learned something new and it was an inspiration to get you to the sewing machine weekly.  I don't know about you, but whenever I look at my finished quilts, I always remember what I was doing as I made the quilt.   Glorious Splendor will always remind me of all of you and our journey together but also of dealing with an aging parent, losing my dear Cal Pal, and battling Salmonella poisoning.  But also great memories of a fabulous week in Maine with my husband, pups, and friends, plus a great week teaching in Lancaster, and finishing (or almost) the quilt at a  Friends retreat at the Strong House Inn.  You will note in Illustrations that the Blocks are placed in different places, and that is by design, I want you to determine the best placement for your Blocks.
