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.
Our first night getting to meet Jane, our teacher and new friend.
Heading out to explore the quilt and fabric shops.
Pat and Bettie in deep thought with so much fabric to choose from on our first day of shopping.
Coming home after our first day of shopping
"Fueling" up before our lesson starts."
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, :).
Taking a short lunch break before returning to Mary Jo's for more shopping.
A trip to the car with a load of goodies before heading to the thread mill.
