Thats all. I have plenty more but these show some of what I did. Had a blast. Thanks for looking.

Love the compass centre and Melissa is the best.

I also found out she has sunday thru thursdays open often. YOu can go sunday at 3 and stay that day free then it is 76.00 a day for monday-wed. Maybe get a Texas quilters from QB together this winter. Every time you turn around they were feeding us full meals and desserts and snacks, etc. I think my britches were a little tighter when I left. LOL

Hi SHaron. She is isn't she. And her store has grown so much this year. She has a little of everything and I mean everything. I love her to death. And her food. OMG.... YOu are close enough maybe to join a group if we can get at least 10 interested. I know a few others in the area are trying. Thanks for looking.

That is better for me on Sun-thurs. Looks like you had a great time!! let me know when there is room for the next retreat!!
Love all the quilts!!

Deb, what awesome photos!!! Yeah, I'm jealous too :D
That basket is really nice.
Thanks for sharing your fun !!

Oh- would you ever do a tute on the bowl???
Pretty please with sugar on top? :D

I haven't been to this one, but all my quilty friends have! They really like it, and I have one who goes very often...as a matter of fact, I think she goes to one this weekend, and another one the week after that! She's our 'Retreat Gal' as she doesn't miss any of them.

Someday I may have to see about trying it out also. Glad to hear you had so much fun and to see the pictures!

Debbie....WOW!!! I so seriously would like to attend..what a blast...love it.......thanks so much for sharing the pictures......

I really like the log cabin and the Betty Boop quilt is so cute. Looks like all had a great time.

great job on your projects and thanks for sharing the pictures with us,

Deb, you looked like you had a blast and you were soooooooo productive!! Awesome pics and projects. I love your Betty Boop quilt!!!

I absolutely love your Betty Boop quilt. That is so cute...

I am so jealous too, I used to have a group I quilted with and they folded,I miss it very much. Now just quilt by my self, I was so blessed to have this site to inspire and encourage me to continue. Thanks for posting and for all who do. I know many at home quilters are look forward to the post.

Granbury, Tx?? know a blond lady named Keller by any chance? She's a friend of mine!! doesn't quilt though. so sad.

Retreats are soooo much fun....I belong to the Indiana State Quilters Guild and we do a winter one (Shipshewanna or Brown County) summer one At the Quilters Hall of Fame weekend. Both are fun... Also we go to Camp Mack...for another club I belong to. Thanks for posting pictures so nice.

For those of you that have never been to the Compass Centre. Melissa started this retreat in o5 or 06 its hard to remember now. All the fabric for the quilts on all the bed came from her stach. Some of her quilting buddies made the quilt for all the bed. Since the opening the Retreat has pretty much been sold out every weekend. All the walls in the bed room and down the 2 halls have quilts. If I knew how to down load pic on here I could show you some of the changes the Centre has gone through. and more of the quilts When it first open where the store is used to be melissa office. Then she started getting the fabric about 3 years ago.
She has so much fabric you don't have to head into Waco if you forgot a piece for a project.
So with all that said its the Best place to go for a retreat. Try and go you will want to live there. My first time we stay from a thur to a wed we didn't want to leave. We only left because we need our meds.

Here's some of the quilts thata go down the hallway.

She also sells kits for all the quitls she hangs around the retreat. Not to mention the ones in the bathrooms. dining room, etc. YOu won't want to leave like Texas granny said. Thanks for sharing Texasgranny. She said she is getting ready to have an online store soon. It is in the works. SHe is a busy lady. And her staff is wonderful too. And REx the dog nad Black kitty

LOVE the fabric bowl and the blue batik star quilt is gorgeous!

Oh I wish I was there, it looks like you had the most fun ever!! Aaahh....someday I will get to go on a retreat, but until it's my turn I am so happy to look at all the photos and see the sisterhood (or family connection, for our male quilters) of quilters.

Looks like you had a grand time. Can't wait for my retreat in October to Tillamook.

What great pics. Don't you just love retreats. I go on one in the Fall and then one in the Spring-the highlights of my year.
Wonderful projects!

This looks a lot like our retreats at Threads of Time in Danville, Il. And it looks like you had as much fun as we do. Ya gotta love those retreats!

so i LOVE your Betty Boop quilt, the bowl is AWESOME & quilt on your bed is to die for ! How fun :)

wow, love all the pictures, thanks

Thank you for sharing those pics. Must have had an awesome time! WOW

I love the fabric bowl ... and I love you sister ... *HUGS*

In late Sept 4 years ago this fall we did some quilts for Breast Cancer. The room was full with 37 of us making quilts for ebay to be bid on. There was one made with all cowgirl boots and one of the boot tops at the Centre Compass logo on the boots it was so cool we all wanted to win that one..
What was so strange about the sew in right after that 2 of my friends and I all found out we had Breast cancer. Mellisa is also a survior.

Thanks for sharing!! Looks like you all had a great time!! Loved your Betty Boop quilt!!

Log cabin quilt just gorgeous what pattern did you use You have a great eye for colors also like bayik love the bowl and the walker bags would love to have patterns for these Man all that quilting - I'd be worn out not to mention an area of the body that would be very sore for sitting so long :lol: thanks cheryl

I always buy raffle tickets for the cancer quilt when she has them. She is quite the lady. I love the "Fight Like a Girl Shirts" they wear with the cancer signs. Its the one in the first picture I posted of her. Godspeed to all survivors.

When we sat too long we got up and did the chicken dance or the merigbue, LOL. Quite a show.
