It's Retreat Time Again!

It's retreat time again! We lost some time due to Covid but never our enthusiasm. I think having to postpone and reschedule made us realize just how wonderful this time together is. We just came home from our 13th annual retreat; needless to say, we had the best time ever. 

Some things never change which in this case is a good thing...our usual table of goodies in the community room remains full of delicious, yummy unhealthy goodies which we feel justified in eating...only once a year right?

Our large room for working is fantastic with room to spread out.

This year, we all got double tables which gave us a lot of room for working on big pieces.

Barbara, Linda and Georgia busy at work or getting ready to.

Barbara showing us a wonky Churn Dash made for a friend...I love it and the wild colors.

Linda showing us some small pieces...

love this one.

Georgia was gifted some fantastic pieces of fabric...shown here only a couple but each was more wonderful than the one before.

Georgia had just come back from her teaching retreat she does every year...at a ranch in Montana. They always have a wonderful project created by Georgia and Charlotte Warr Anderson. Every student has a chance to study with each instructor and learn the techniques used in their section of the project. They also have a chance to take advantage of fun "ranch" things to do like horse back riding. Georgia didn't go for a ride but did get on the horse. That is a big deal! She needs to frame this picture.

Always a happy hour, the first night and looking for our goodies and wine!

Well...Wowie - Zowie...that is some spread! Since we are doing our own meals now, we decided to each bring a heavy appetizer and make that our dinner. Everything was yummy!

Great stories...

lots of laughs, un-ending bubbly....

And Barbara topped off the night with her wonderful cupcakes - Moscow Mule. They were so yummy, I cut mine in half and saved the second half for night 2.

Speaking of night 2....that will follow soon!
