Starry Starry Night Retreat 2015 ~ Part 1



Welcome to
Our Starry Starry Night


We kicked off our
4th year of hosting
a craft, sewing, quilting
retreat in
in beautiful McCall, Idaho.


We're just getting everything
 ready for our retreaters to arrive.

Our color palette was gold, mint, coral and navy.
We love a good theme.


I adored these nametags,
easy, glittery and pretty.

 


We decorated with Lone Star quilts
 for inspiration
since we were having a Lone Star quilt class.


A few gifts for our ladies.

  


I have a new passion for felt.
Loved making these.


Des made everyone these handy
number pins for keeping track of rows.

She did the bunting and the centerpieces
 and so much more.

I made the caramels. :)
Once you try gingerbread caramels,
you really can't go back.



Right now, it's the calm
before the party.

 
This is Part 1.
Much more to come.

    1. Thanks! Try the caramels, so good, just know it takes a lot longer to cook than 20 minutes. And you definitely need a thermometer. :)

  4. Looks like a great time to be had. I looked around and never saw the cost of the retreat, Is it three days and two nights. I'm interested in attending next year. But I would bee flying from kentucky so I would need to know how to save now to do so. When I click on us there is no response, that why I'm asking here. I'll be anxiously waiting for more pictures. Thank you
    Blessings
