Never before in my life have I been able to spend 13 consecutive hours focused solely on quilting! "Quilt by the Bay" in Lion's Bay was my first ever quilting retreat and what a wonderful experience it was!
There were more than 20 busy bees working on all sorts of amazing quilting projects. Delicious lunch, dinner and snacks were provided throughout the day. We were even shown a fancy new way to fold fabric for cutting binding. Many thanks go out to the wonderful ladies I met there and Krista Hennebury for her hard work organizing the whole affair!
...and special thanks to everyone who purchased crafty goodness from me, and to the rest of you reading this... YES, there ARE leftovers!
I suppose it was very exciting ! I'd like to do such a retreat )))
ReplyDeleteComplimenti !!!
ReplyDeleteChe fatica :0)
Seguo sempre il tuo blog, sto cercando d'imparare l'inglese e di fare lavori in patchwork meravigliosi come quelli che fai tu !!!
A presto, Carol
Fabulous - 13 hours of uninterrupted quilting with a group of friends. I so want to do something like this. I am going to attend a workshop at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival, but a retreat, up in the mountains somewhere (like Montanna, or New Mexico) - now that would be my idea of heaven!!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. I've linked to it a while back and visit often. You have a wonderful "style" all your own.
