I went on our annual quilting retreat this past week. What a blast we had!There are seven of us who get together every May for a long weekend to fabric shop, maybe take in a quilt show or two and sew all day in our jammies!.
This time we chose to go across the line to take in some quilt shops. Of course none of us adhered to the $50.00 a day shopping cross the line rules.The girls all decided that if someone had to charm their way back across the line then I was the one that had to "take one for the team". But we had no trouble getting back home..which was too bad because the border crossing guard was kinda cute!
Can you imagine what seven menopausal women are like all crowded into a 12x15 room? The poor back door nearly broke off its hinges, opening and closing all day..what a contribution we made to global warming and it gave new meaning to the term "sweatshop"!
We did have a lot of fun and spent a whole wad of money on fabric we just had to have, heavens knows that none of us own enough fabric yet to satisfy our fabric owning urges. A lifetime would not be long enough to sew up the yardage we have gathered in our coffers. Some day our daughters will inherit our treasures and by then they will be at the age that they too, will be wanting a 'hobby' to fill their retirement hours.
