          THE CRAFTY STITCHERS
          FIRST QUIILTING RETREAT





          As you will see, besides learning something new, we had a great time in the mountains shopping, shopping and shopping. We did take out a little time to eat while we sewed the night away. Betty was a great hostess that keep things so interesting and fun with very nice prizes and games. We got started off with a beautiful dinner at Jane's the first night and then the next morning we went to the local quilt shops and fabric stores getting lots of arm exercise opening our purses, :). After we had dinner, we got started with our first lesson. We sewed until around midnight and even Bettie G. stayed right in there with us night owls.

          Now watch out....... we have made it to this huge fabric store so we can shop till we drop. Notice no purses to be found ? Just one little piece of plastic in our pockets is all we need, :).
