Another cold, but sunny day. While it will be good to get home, it was a bit sad to say good-bye to our quilty friends.  After a yummy breakfast of scrambled eggs w/sausage, hash brown potato casserole & blueberry pancakes with cut up fresh fruit, a bit more of sewing got accomplished.

Those with a long trip home, left after lunch. Four ladies in a BIG truck, loaded with sewing machines and supplies headed out after lots of hugs.

Several local ladies remained to do hand work and visit until the retreat was officially over by 4 p.m.  The room looked so empty! Camelia and I were the last ones and we did a little computer work.

I’m heading home today because it is a long drive and I didn’t want to leave early.  So in the evening, I got to have dinner with my Son and his family – Yoo Hooo!!

You may not hear from me for a couple of days while I rest and get my sewing space put back together.  Plus I will be resuming my PT.

Happy Stitching  & Moving!

Today started off cold – 32 degrees with wind causing it to feel like 19 degrees.  But it was very sunny which left us all in a good mood. No where to go, except the Big Room to sew!!
