Quiltville retreat

I was a lucky substitute for someone who was unable to go to a retreat last week to Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville Inn. We had a fabulous time, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with several girls I know, and making new friends with the few that I hadn’t met before we went.

Bonnie has already blogged about it with photos, so I’ll link those here.

Quilt Showing & Sharing with the Scrappy Sisters

Here I am on the day we arrived. It was a beautiful drive – the weather was perfect, I drove with the windows down all the way, and I loved the route we took through the windy mountain roads. I told CC that he would have loved the drive too, with all that down- and up-shifting around curves and inclines (fun in a standard transmission on a day like that).

We got to see many of Bonnie’s quilts in person, which was a delight. Photos just don’t do them justice. I really want to do Tulip Time and several others now. Of course!

I didn’t really get much sleep while I was gone, so I’m paying for it now that I’m home. Definitely going to bed earlier, since I still have to get up for work. But I’m easing back into the routine. Actually looking forward to going grocery shopping soon, because I got the recipe for the sauce we had with spaghetti one evening for dinner. It was the best I’ve tasted, so I’m anxious to see if I can make it and if CC likes it.
