The Patchwork Times Retreat of 2012 is on its last full day. I hope everyone here is having as much fun as I am. Even though there’s lots of talking and giggling going on, there’s a tremendous amount of sewing happening too. I did finish the January QOV top.
Several other of my projects have had a little work done on them but not enough to show.
If you think I sew fast, you should see my friend, Doris! She’s finished about a dozen quilt tops since arriving! And just when I was thinking I was about to get a whole lot done late last night, she brought this out of her bag!
Vince was going to come out to the retreat this morning and I had told all the ladies he’d be showing up. We didn’t know Doris’ husband was driving all the way out here to bring her a Sonic iced tea and when he showed up, everyone thought he was Vince. One lady even told him that he looked nothing like his pictures! He works with Vince so, of course, they know each other so that was funny!
Back to my sewing ..
Helen says
Judy, your QOV top is beautiful! The recipient will absolutely love it.
So glad you are having fun on your retreat.

There’s so many Orca Bays being worked on. The ladies in the next room to us have finished ones on their beds. It’s been so much fun. I made 1 quilt top, a IPad2 case, pieced 76 Sq.in a Sq. blocks. We’ve laughed til we’re sore. Vince was a sweetie and he’s helping us tomorrow. Believe me, this has been a great retreat… I even reconnected with a person from my past. That was a blessing..

Uh-oh! I have a t-shirt that says don’t drink and quilt — it has a block on it with one corner sewed on wrong! 😉 I occasionally indulge in a drink at retreat, but only when I have something easy lined up to sew.

ok, so here’s me thinking that Doris was holding up a bottle of lotion. So glad that the rest of you know what was really in that bottle!
Mel Meister says
Wow! That’s been MY kind of retreat! Woot! LOL!
Marie says
Oh you are all having too much fun!!! So glad everyone is having a good time. That’s what it is all about. Sewing, laughing, eating, visiting and of course a little nipping if one desires. Some day I just might be there too!!
Diann Smith says
Thanks for the explanation pdudgeon…I didn’t get it. Teetotaler so I didn’t recognize what was going on. Wow no telling what might get sewn. Thanks for the snippits of retreat Judy. How did the group like your cooking? I bet they swooned. Glad the retreat is going so well. And Vince didn’t show up wearing a green shirt?
Robin says
All right Doris!- but that doesn’t look like enough to share with everyone!!
Melinda says
Hey, Doris, you didn’t show me that bottle. Oh, Robin is right. It doesn’t look big enough to share with everyone. 🙂

Melinda, I was trying to be discreet about the mango rum. Judy blew my cover! Whatever I have I’m always willing to share as far as it goes. Next time….
