a great place to be

I'm still recuperating from the quilt retreat.  I don't usually stay up to 11:00 p.m. sewing, but we did and it was FUN!!!  Lots of laughs and listening to our favorite songs that we haven't heard in a long time on the iPad.  Here's the tree skirt/tablecloth top that is done.  Now I just need to quilt it.

I forgot to take photos of the mini quilts that I had made.  I was sooooo late on the February one, but I have a few days to display it, and I'm all ready to hang the March one.

Here's a few shots of what the ladies were working on.

We did not starve and each of us brought a meal so that no-one was bogged down being in the kitchen all the time.

I just loved heading up the staircase to bed at night, it's a 100 year old Victorian home and if walls could talk the stories they would tell.

I love going here to this retreat house A Great Place To Be, and if you are interested in going there too here is the website.  I guarantee you will love it too.

 

i can't wait to go back

When I arrived at the retreat way up North I was brought back in time to sixth grade and going to Outdoor Education.

Here I go to head into Cabin 7.

I was not disappointed as to what I would find in Cabin 7.  I picked a lower bunk being that I was the first one and there was absolutely NO WAY I was going to climb up on the top bunk.  It turned out that only two of us shared this cabin.

After getting my sleeping quarters all in order I headed to the building where I was assigned to sew for the weekend.  Here is my corner and my cabin partner Beth busy sewing away.

I was so busy sewing I forgot to take photos, so I quickly snapped a few but I missed a few ladies.

The youngest quilters at the retreat.  After they worked on their quilts they became creative.

I brought many things to work on as I wasn't sure how much I was going to actually get done.  My goal for the weekend was to finish my Block of the Month quilt top, and that goal was met.  YEAH!!!!

I had a wonderful time.  I sewed, I laughed, I ate, I sewed, I laughed, I ate...and throw a few sleeps in there and that pretty much summed up the weekend.

I can't wait to do it again.
