    Four days away in the Cotswolds to do nothing but sew and visit craft shops sounds like my idea of heaven. I can’t wait for the next episode. Have a lovely time girls!

    I accompanied My husband on a hunting trip to Canada. He hunted and I had 3 glorious sewing days in the hotel. It was so much fun. No responsibilities. Just sewing. It was the best time.

    You made me laugh when you said "I don't think I'll have taken too much if I touch all the projects". I apply a similar rule: I don't think I have too much fabric if I can touch it all!

Since there are no airplanes involved, I say take whatever you like. If you don't get to it, no worries, you can take it back home. I can't wait to see your finished quilts.

    You were so funny giggling at the amount of things you were bringing! Seriously, though, when you're shut away on a peaceful retreat you may get bored with just one or two things, so a variety is nice. I'm headed to a quilt retreat soon myself -- bringing an EPP project, embroidery, and basting a quilt (because I don't want to lug a machine and all that's needed with it). Blessings, Rachel.

    Tiny village houses are precious! We do zoom retreat every few months, about 60 of us over three or four days. So fun!! We made tiny houses during one of the retreats; I made twelve houses and six trees and created a fun table runner for my dining room table. It gets lots of fun comments. Your tiny village quilt will be fabulous. Thank you for sharing your lovely retreat. Blessings, Dawn
