Saddle up, as we stop by for a visit with renowned quilters, teachers, and authors Georgia Bonesteel and Charlotte Warr Andersen at their annual retreat at the Nine Quarter Circle Ranch in Gallatin Gateway, MT.

First the pair unveils a special quilt commemorating the 100th anniversary of the ranch, as well as retreat projects from previous years. Next Georgia demonstrates "picture piecing," her special method of paper piecing with gridded freezer paper, and Charlotte shows how it easy it is to use organza to create soft and shimmery effects in landscape quilts.

We finish with a tour of our historic ranch location with owners Kim and Kelly Kelsey. Our crew did a great job with the photography.  Enjoy!
