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.

That feeling had always been in the back of my mind too but seeing everyone at the retreat emphasised the fact everyone had their place and fitted in. It was such a lovely weekend

Indeed it was Jane – and I’m looking forward to the next one!

Just relived it reading your blog! Especially the pinging of the messages at some dreadful hours! . Great weekend – nice account Christine.
-
Thank you Ruth! It was indeed a great weekend!

I smiled when reading your blog, as it brought back lovely memories of the weekend.
Strange isn’t it, how we expect someone to be based on posts and comments on FB, just to find them very different in real life! x-
Very true Nina – and I’m glad the blog made you smile!

Almost 30 of the volunteer bloggers for the ukqu.co.uk website came together for the first time in real life at the weekend. Many of us have been blogging and ‘met’ each other online for the last year, but this was…

Such lovely projects Nina. It is hard when you borrow someone else’s machine isn’t it? So glad that you got on with it!
-
Thank you Abi. A new machine always take some time to get used to, that’s why I picked the curved blocks! Saying that, Ruth’s machine gave me a beautiful 1/4″ seam so I needn’t have worried at all!
