There was loads of sewing...
But that's not the main reason they are here.
They are here to relax, refresh, make some new friends with some first-tiers at retreat.
There is time for naps, snacks, great meals, porch relaxation and games.
And more!

A Tour Of Quilt Covered Beds!
We haven't done this in a while!
And since t least HALF of the ladies were gone shop-hopping, and I had to leave the retreat early for an appointment I thought I'd take a quick tour upstairs (with some encouragement to come see!) and do a little quilt show of what is on the beds as displayed by Chris's Christmas In July group.
I love how folks bring quilts for their beds for sleeping under, not just hanging over the porch rail.
There is something special about sleeping under a quilt you've made yourself.

Rainy Days & Quilty Pleasures!
I snapped this photo as I was hiking back UP the drive in between rain showers yesterday morning and Hubster Dave was coming down the drive with dogs in tow, just giving them the excitement of a CAR RIDE to Lowes and back.
(Say it, and they go nuts. Here we are as fully grown adults spelling out C_A_R_R_I_D_E so they wouldn't know what we were talking about beforehand...)
Yes, I'm still walking my drive down and back up again after breakfast before heading to the inn. It takes 10 minutes. But it is only 10 minutes of terrible.

The Last Motif In Place!
This is where I left things as I started in on that last large motif that would fill the corner.
Checking for placement.
Looking to be sure I didn't end up with the same fabric touching itself anywhere...because if you know you know.
Those same aquas need to keep their distance, dagnabbit!
And then...while some random thing was playing on the TV...I completed that last motif.
The last one. No more counting down. It was time to start sewing these units together.
