Every Spring our Quilt Guild, the Dixie Quilt Guild goes to Zion National Park for a retreat.
We just arrived tonight and are setting up our machines.

One of the traditions is to bring a quilt to share. We place them on our beds for Show and Tell.

We just had a class as a guild where Bev Lewis taught Fabulous Fractures. Cindy is making a pillow sham out of hers to match the quilt.

I taught a quilt class at the amphitheatre at this retreat several years back. I have NEVER FORGOTTEN how neat it was to walk into all of the hotel rooms and see the beautiful quilts on all the beds. It was so inspiring!!
I need to come back to the Zions Retreat sometime.

I don't know if I could quilt with that scenery beckoning. I love ZION and those red rocks.
