Hi Everyone, we’ll our retreat last weekend was so fab, we laughed, we sewed, we didn’t sleep lol, we ate, we got to know all of our quilting friends new and familiar. We completed new projects and finished old ones. Was a weekend full of sunshine, friendships and the hum of sewing machines, the steam of irons and the singing of reminiscent songs from days gone by like, Que Sera Sera…Sing a Song of Six Pence a Pocket full a Rye…99 bottles of Beer on the Wall (lol this was hilarious)…Down by the Bay where the watermelon Grows…My Eyes are Dim I Cannot See, I have not brought my specs with me…There was an ol women who swallowed a fly, I don’t know why she swallowed a fly…and last but least (from what I can remember is) “The ol Grey Mare, She ain’t what she used to be, ain’t what she used to be, ain’t what she used to be…and we laughed and laughed.
For those of you who couldn’t make it maybe this will be your incentive for next year. Beth shared some amazing stories from the bible which made us really reflect on who we are and how important we are to each other and to God. Thanks so much Beth.
