Last Wandering Stitchers retreat Nov 1-6 2022

last year

Our number of attendees for retreat is dwindling and I fear this will be the last year for our retreat. Place of Grace will have a price increase next year and it will put it out of reach for our 3-5 members who can attend. If anyone thinks they will be able to make it this year, please let me know.

Sue, it would be a wonderful place to recuperate. Try as I may, October is not always available. I do hope 3rd time is the charm and you enjoy your polar ber trip.

Wish I could, but we are in the middle of major renovations. Finish date was end October, but now they're saying mid November. That, and my clothes could be pretty dirty, as we'll have been without a washer/dryer for over a month by then!

Bev...while the tee shirt is bright and very nice...the two black and white quilts turn out Terrific! I think they are stunning! Personally, I'd give one to first place cause that is an accomplishment in and of itself to go a 100 miles.... And one to the last place for shear perservance! Well done! V.

OK folks, I have packed way too much! I also went a little food crazy. My car will be full to the brim. But never fear, I will get the homemade 3-layer Italian Cream Cake in the car. Now lets just hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as my cupcakes from last year... I guess if it does, we can always turn it upside down and eat it out of the lid like a salad. :)

I actually got to do some quilting this past weekend!! Seems like it's been ages since it saw the light of day! I've been busy with costume modifications for my daughter's Nutcracker performances. It's a local show, and she has the lead as Clara this year! Needless to say we're all very excited! It's an honor to be chosen. Anyhow, I'm finally caught up with all the costumes, so, I hope I can get back to quilting. They're staring me down every time I walk into the sewing room! I have less than 1/4 of assembly on my HoopSister's Sewn Seeds quilt. I'm debating on adding more to the border. I'll post some pictures when I get there to see what you guys think?? I was also like the rest of you and did yard work this past weekend. Looks like it may have been the last one of really nice weather. It was a very enjoyable afternoon. I played piano for the choir in high school. I love music, but never could sing :-) Robbi

Latifolia, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I am missing you all, already, and wish I could come! Tobey finished his Katy Trail ride - plus spurs - with a total of 370 miles. We got home this afternoon and the RV is unloaded. I am working on sketching some ideas for a king-sized quilt I am going to be making on commission for a friend of my brothers. Could sure sure the moral support of you all! Have a great time. Beverly, I made "crack" but won't have time to mail it so I am going to eat it all .... :) Sue

Tobey and I were just discussing the retreat and both wished it were earlier than November. The first ones I went to were around the first week of October which usually works better for me. He would like to combine one of his bike trips to get us there then I could quilt and he could recuperate! Of course, I totally understand. We are heading out October 31 for our Canada/polar bear trip - third try is the charm! (2020-Covid shutdown, 2021-broken wrist & ankle, 2022- WE ARE GOING!!!)

Keep me posted - I would love to come if it was earlier!

I am looking forward to the retreat. Are we planning a menu again? I was thinking I would make chili this year if everyone is game.

Sharon, good thing I have a big SUV. Char, no menu planned. We can each make something or order out. Not gonna be many of us. Chili sounds wonderful to me. I'm bringing vegetable soup. I think Sharon should make Sue's famous lasagna.

Sounds good to me. I might even find Sue's recipe for garlic bread.

Anyone going to retreat want all my Eleanor Burns books/patterns? How about Dear Jane?

This eagle has landed back in S. Illinois. Thanks again, Beverly, for a great retreat. It was so nice to see you and Tim and Sharon again.

Glad you made it safely home. The flamingos have made it as far as my house. Sharon's daughter will pick her up tomorrow.
