Quilt retreat

Let's back up a few weeks to the quilt retreat held at the Stables in Pierrefonds on a lovely weekend in September. Now that I've liberated some pictures from my camera it's time to post a note. :)

We arrived Friday afternoon and evening, set up our machines and started sewing. The weekend was filled with good company and good food (as always!) and everyone's projects advanced nicely.
Unfortunately this will be our last retreat at the Stables (the nuns will be closing down this property) .....but surely not our last retreat as a guild.

On Friday night a small token of appreciation was given to Marilyn - who left the guild a sewing machine before she moved back to Sudbury. The machine will be put to good use starting soon - we have lots and lots of fabric and will start quilting bees at our meetings to make donation quilts. Thanks Marilyn!

Here's hoping we find an alternate location to get away from it all again next year!!
