You’ve spent ages piecing your quilt top and the excitement mounts as all your blocks form into rows and then one big quilt top. You stand back to admire your work and you can’t wait to move onto layering it up…

One of the most often asked questions I’ve seen in sewing and quilting groups has been about sewing machines and which one people should buy. As I’ve been wanting to upgrade my sewing machine for some time I…

I was one of the lucky Bloggeratti to go in the Quilting Retreat at the beginning of December and it was the best thing since sliced bread! Good company, great space, nice vegan food, good bar and a nice clean…

It was lovely meeting you too Ruth…great blog.

A lovely account of a great weekend – and I loved looking in the bag – the tape measure certainly came in very useful over the weekend! I’ve not used the fabric yet, but will find a project for it all. I love bags – especially fabric ones, and seem to be adding to my collection regularly!
-
Thank you Christine. Yes – I can’t get enough of fabric bags either…. always so useful. Lovely to meet you and great we managed to chat.

This coming weekend sees the first retreat for those the Bloggerati, the wonderful group that write your blogs, provide you with hints and tips and other goodies on the website. It’s also the first retreat I have…

I’m nervous about things like parking and food too (being disabled plus coeliac) which also makes me a bit nervous sometimes about going new places. WE WILL BE FINE! We will thoroughly enjoy ourselves and even if things don’t go according to plan it will work out. See you there!
-
Look forward to meeting you Corinne, and I’m sure everything will work out well
-
-
YI am sure you will have a great time. Rescue Remedy gets me on planes…sheer cussedness makes me stay on them, despite the rising panic. Just keep to the 15 minutes. Then another 15..and so on
-
and then we wonder what all the fuss was about 🙂
-
-
I’m nervous about going too. Not for the same reasons, but still a bit worried. And go from ‘I can’t wait’ to ‘hmmm, not sure’. So I will feel a big sense of achievement once I’m back home again. Look forward to meeting you. x

I think that picture perfectly sums up the pendulum swings the brain goes through. I’m sure we’ll all have a wonderful time.

Jane – thank you for this blog – I too am feeling a bit unsure about this weekend, trying to get everything ready, and wondering what I’m going to bring along to it to work on. We will have a fantastic time – the retreat will be what we make it! Now I just have to make it through until Friday, and try to sort out the quilting on a quilt that I said I would make for a raffle – it needs to be finished by Thursday, and I’ve unpicked the quilting twice today…
-
Oh, that must be so nerve wracking Christine. I am sure it will be wonderful when it’s finished. Look forward to seeing you
-

Jane, you are a very brave lady! Although I am not going (too far to go from Spain, and we are over at Christmas – so the expense is another factor), I will be thinking of you all and hoping that you all have a great, rewarding and enjoyable weekend. I used to live about 2 miles away from the venue – so I can picture you all there. I am sure you won’t need that corner to hide in – you will be just too busy enjoying yourself. Hugs xx
-
Thank you and hopefully, you’ll get there one year Sue.
