For the last four years I've been heading to the upper part of lower Michigan for a quilt workshop with Gwen Marston. I just returned the other day. This is a picture of Gwen standing in front of her samples of our project for this year - what she called "small studies."
I ended up making four of these small quilts myself over the period of four days of sewing and enjoyed them very much.
Nowadays I don't get too much time to sew - so it's always a treat when I'm reminded how much I enjoy it.
The workshop is held at an old-fashioned resort on a small lake. Here's a photo looking out at the lake from where I stayed.
The weather was almost supernaturally wonderful - sunny and in the 70 degree range all week. One day I even waded in the lake. And on the last beautiful Saturday afternoon of sewing, many of us took our chairs out onto the lawn and watched sailboats on the lake while we did our hand-sewing.
October in Michigan!
