Dog River Quilters Fall 2011 Quilt Retreat
I am fortunate to belong to a wonderful, small group (we rarely refer to it as a guild) of quilters of various abilities and aesthetics. Today we held one of our quilting days, a monthly day-long session where we all (or all of those of us who can make it) haul our sewing machines, fabric, rotary cutters, rulers, thread, scissors, and more to the library community room. We set up shop and sew for hours – and I mean hours and hours! Sometimes we start at 9:00 am and end at 9:00 pm. Today the glorious weather beckoned and we called it quits at 5:00ish. You’d think we’d get a lot done in these sessions – and we do get a fair amount of piecing, cutting, pressing, and other quilt-related work done. But perhaps more importantly we get to strengthen the friendships we’ve created over these past 2+ years.
