Sewing Retreat - Friends - Fun


 I am starting a new quilt.  First I will make many triangle units?

I am learning a new art.  Autumn and I are taking pottery classes at Blue Ridge Community College.

A few ladies came to my house for a quilting day.
What a fun time we had together!

Amy worked on Spinning Pinwheels.
A few of the nieces join us which always adds spice to the party.
Painting was also a part of the retreat.
Ironing, hand work, writing and resting all make a wonderful atmosphere.
Julia and Polly finished up their mystery
 quilts with Bonnie Hunter.

Rebecca worked on her quilt from Jan Krentz's book.
Autumns projects she designed and worked on.

 After 10 days our fun came to an end and we had to pack up and leave, but we have plans for another family sewing retreat.
