Spring 2018 Quilt Retreat has ended. Everyone has returned home, and getting back to normal routines – whatever ‘normal’ is! I returned to some major work which took several days, and still isn’t totally completed. I’ve been able to spend a little time in my sewing room to get everything back into place. Attending a quilt retreat requires moving lots of sewing supplies and returning home with more than you took.

Camelia – 2018 Quilt Retreat at Spirit Wind Ministries
The last day of the Retreat actually ended at 4:00 pm, but after lunch was enjoyed, the packing up began. Those with a longer drive left earlier, while others with shorter drives enjoyed a bit more sewing. But the final breakdown & packing began in earnest and we drove off exactly 4:02 pm!
I did a bit of sewing and completed three small projects: Baby Washcloths, Small Drawstring Bag, and Sunflower Pillowcase.
- Flannel Baby Washcloths
- Drawstring Bag
- Sunflower Pillowcase
After lunch we said good bye to our hosts – Jim & Paula McClure who run Spirit Wind Ministries Retreat Center.

Camelia’s 2018 Spring Retreat – Cindy have a post lunch chat with Jim & Paula McClure
Paula and her helpers made sure we ate VERY well! Jim did a marvelous job grilling the chicken, pork & hot dogs. Check out this menu.
Now it’s time to start planning the next retreat. By popular demand, we have been encouraged to add a 2nd 2018 Retreat in the Fall. Check out Camelia’s Quilt Retreat page and email Camelia for information. We’d LOVE for you to join us.
Happy Stitching & Moving!
