Quilt Retreat at My Sister's Quilt Shoppe 

Logan, Utah October 11, 2014


What a fun day for sewing, talking, eating and most of all catching up with friends.  Little did we know when we scheduled the retreat that it was also Utah State University's homecoming parade and game.  Just as Mardell and I (Becky) started through town we quickly found that the road was closed for the parade.  Just as I was complaining about these huge buses blocking an intersection, I noted that they were the Air Force team buses.  We had to wait until they unloaded the football team at the school where they would prepare for the game.  It was still a lot of fun and we made it to My Girlfriend's Quilt Shoppe just a little bit late but we still had lots of time to sew, talk and shop.

Here are some great pictures from our day together.
