Dear friend of KISSed Quilts,
 Our fall retreat at Camp MiVoden on Hayden Lake in Idaho was a great success. Our largest to date! Camp has made more room for us so it looks like we can add a few more for next year. If you're interested--let me know as I have a special retreat list since the number returning is so high I generally only need to advertise to prior attendees. Between them and their new friends we usually get enough.
So grateful to all who came!
Here are some images --most of these and many more have been posted on www.facebook.com/kissedquilts or www.instagram.com/marlene.kissedquilts during or right after the event. If you're not following along on social media --I hope you will click 'like' or 'follow'. But if you're not on social media, you might enjoy seeing some of these items. These in particular relate to the Class that I taught--AnglePlay or use fabrics from our shop.
AnglePlay results:
1. Sail Away fabrics by Island Batik made into the Double Sparkle pattern - kit available here!
