Wooohooo, a full day of sewing with minimal breaks. It’s just the way I like it. However, I’m in good company with my sewing sisters who think the same way. It seems we can’t get enough hours in the day to finish the many projects we bring to complete, but only muster to finish one or two (especially if they are big quilts).
Since I brought a few projects that I need to have done by Christmas, I’ve been workin’ like one of Santa’s elves. This dedicated time has been a huge blessing; not only getting a handle on the scope of what I need done from a quilting/sewing perspective, but polishing the gems of friendships I hold dear in my heart with many of the ladies on retreat with me.
We come from all walks of life, span five decades, hail from four states, have interesting lives and gather on retreats with our common denominator: fabric…and what we can do with it to make treasured keepsakes.
The conversations and stories that whirl around the room are dizzying as well as vibrant, funny and poignant.
For me, it’s all intoxicating to hang with other sewists and fabric artists!
BSoleille!
