Wonder Cut Ruler Fall 2008 Retreat
(not your average quilting retreat!)
October 3-5, 2008

Our Fall 2008 Wonder Cut Ruler Retreat was held October 3-5, 2008 at the Marsh Creek Event Centre located in the beautiful Albion Valley here in Idaho.  Albion is about 18 miles from Burley.  

We started off the retreat with the traditional ringing of the school bell.  As our quilters entered the main retreat room, they were greeted by our theme "Got Gadgets?"   Quilters were greeted with various quilting gadgets at their stations.  

Our quilters introduced themselves as they showed their "Bring 'n Brag".  We had quilters from Wyoming, Oregon, New Jersey, Virginia, and Idaho join us.  Projects for this retreat included a sewing machine caddy, a cute table topper, Swirly Whirly, and Spin Pin. 



Challenge Quilts
These are some of the wonderful quilts made for our challenge.
We issue a challenge at every retreat by giving 1/2 yard of fabric to those
that want to participate.  The completed quilts are judged by a "Viewer's Choice."
The winner gets 10 yards of fabric, but the real winners are the
kids in Foster Care in Minidoka and Cassia County.
The quilts are given to the kids as part of our Christmas Basket Program.
Back Row:  Nikki (she was our winner - again!), Julie, Mary and Kelly
Front Row:  hmmm ..... I wonder who this was ...

As Nikki was deciding on what fabric she would take, we discovered that she
was going to use her winning fabric to back quilts for the
Foster Kids where she lives.  We are so pleased that another group has
started a program in their area.  We continue to believe that quilters are
some of the most caring and sharing people on the planet.

We had some great quilts.  I'm glad I didn't have to decide the winner.

Those Wyoming gals were packed to the hilt for their
road trip home.  Quilters are so resourceful.  Take note of
the extra storage space they found in the sunroof!
