Teapot Valley Winter Retreat

The annual Teapot Valley Winter retreat was held over the weekend of the 9th to the 11th of June. The weather was sunny and crisp, and there was a good turn out of quilters. One of whom, Debbie Williams, came all the way from Queenstown. It was good that she did as her applique work wowed those present with its wonderfull creativity. Debbie has her own website if you would like to know more about her work: Quilt Fever

Here a a few pictures from the gathering. Hopefully they give some idea about the event. Note that pictures of Debbie's work is at the end.
