Our quilt guild has a quilting retreat every summer at Agnes's cabin. I've never gone until this year. I usually just keep my nose to the grind stone and wish I could go. This year I decided I was going! There were 8 of us (well 9 to begin with, but one of the ladies fell down the stairs - ouch! - and went home. Last I heard she was doing better.)
We spent 3 days working on our own projects that we brought, eating, and gabbing (some doing more gabbing than others!) That empty chair on the right is my spot :)
The "cabin" (it looked like a cabin from the outside, but was a very nice home on the inside),was a delight to stay in. I got so much done - I haven't worked on my own quilt top in ages, it was really nice to get away from every day responsibilities and just sew. My very first quilting retreat was a success.
Please read on to the next 3 posts. I had 45 quilts that I had quilted for customers that I'm finally getting put on to the blog here. Since there were so many I divided them into 3 different posts so I hopefully wouldn't have technical issues! Happy viewing :)
