Sewciologists On The Porch!

What a wonderful, delightful group of fantastic women!
It was so nice to see folks I'd met at other retreats, and heartwarming to welcome in newbies experiencing their first visit to Quiltville Inn.
I'm so grateful that those who do return - they bring the excitement of gathering once again to create beautiful things to the forefront of my day.  It carries me.
And the new ones - I love the wonder in their eyes and seeing them connect with new friends and form lasting friendships gives me purpose.

And my coffee station - vintage spool cabinet drawers the perfect size for my Keurig K cups.

Maybe someone is up to go get a snack, or take a shower, or even sneak off for a nap.

These empty seats with all of the details left in plain view of what had been going on when the chair was occupied and the machine was humming.

It doesn't take much to put the pieces together, does it?
