QUILTIN' ALONG WITH MY SASSY SEWERS ON RETREAT

QUILTIN' WITH MY SASSY SEWERS
LAKEHOUSE RETREAT
JAN. 2014

We did it!!  We, meaning my sewing/quilting group, the Sassy Sewers, went on our very 1st retreat!!  We have evolved from a group of ladies who didn't know each other nor had little in common except for our desire to sew, quilt, or learn to quilt, into a group of ladies with much in
common.  Funny, how that can happen, isn't it?  My husband, Tractor Man, had heard me complain for over 2 yrs about my need to find a group of ladies to stitch with so his response was finally, "Well, why don't you form your own group?"........AND that's EXACTLY What I Did!!  A few well placed announcements in 2 church bulletins, A few phone calls, and a Facebook invitation, and I had a resemblance of a quilting group.  One Problem, most of the ladies who came didn't know how to sew and wanted to LEARN HOW to quilt.  Ok, Drop back and punt, Jane.  You can do this.

That was October 2012....Fast Forward to Jan. 2014 and the following pictures will tell you how things are going!

Lakehouse
What a PERFECT spot for a retreat!

The Fancy Folded Star would make a great Retreat Project

THANK YOU TAMARA 
for sharing your beautiful Lakehouse for our 1st Quilting Retreat!

MY RED WHITE & BLUE FANCY FOLDED STAR...STILL IN PROGRESS

Thank you for indulging me by reading along as I shared pictures of my Sassy Sewers First Quilt Retreat.
God has been good to bring together such a close knit group of ladies and allow us to not only share our love of stitching but of fellowship and friendship too!

Blessings,
