Retreat


Arrived back home Sunday night from a terrific week's retreat in the north woods of Wisconsin.


The weather was perfect--all the better for showcasing the leading edge of autumn color. This below was the view from our deck.



Five friends and I sewed, knit, ate, drank a bit of wine, shopped, and just in general retreated from the world. I don't have tons and tons of pictures, but here's a representative group of shots.

My project--a scrappy Log cabin.



Mother and daughter Carlyn and Renee hard at the handwork at cocktail time.


Karen nears the finish line with some god-awful yarn.


Sue cranks out the mini Pinwheels.


Liz making a very "Liz" quilt.

You must have had such fun!

Don you mind if I "steal" a copy of the fantastic "comment lady" from your sidebar? She is just so great.

That yarn is beautiful compared to the ugly stuff I using up right now. Looks like you and friends had a really nice time.

The project that Liz making definitely got MY attention. Does she have a blog? I'd love to see it when it's finished.

wow. I wish I had a bunch of friends who sew to go sit at our cabin to do this! All my friends insist they can't sew a button on... oh well. thanks for the tip about Diane and machine quilting!
