Sylvia Priest – webmaster and quilter wrote a new post, Quilts for Christmas Dinners joined the Bloggerati Retreat 7 years, 6 months ago
This was my first quilting retreat, held last few days of November and over Sylvia’s birthday. I’m told that the rule is “what happens on retreat stays on retreat”, i.e. no telling tales. Ha ! I’m a rule breaker………

Who else has problems with their machine foot pedal walking all over the floor? Do you, like me, start with it in a lovely comfortable easy to use position and whether on carpet, tiles or wood floor, by the time you…

Excellent idea. I usually end up with my leg stretched out, half off half on the seat! will def have a go with this xx

Thanks Sue, since making one a few years ago I’ve never used my foot without it. If you buy the nonslip from a charity shop you usually get a pack of two, one of these when cut will make 9 !! I did this one during a group and was able to give them all a piece of the nonslip to go home and make their own. A nice quick, cheap make. x

Way way back many centuries ago…okay, many moons ago a suggestion was made: who would be interested in going on a sewing retreat? (Who can name the musical referred to here?!) This seemed like a dream come true – a w…

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!
