Just got back from a great time at Becky's Barn in Grimley, TN - best quilting retreat facilities anywhere! We had a wonderful time, there were 9 of us and we had a blast! One of our quilters has a friend who is a retired extension agent; she came one day and demonstrated a fun project and then gave us a trunk show! Double Fun! We also visited a local winery, where I found out that "Wine can take the Bitch right out of me!" Of course there was lots of fellowship, sewing, eating and shopping - does it get any better? I think not.
Here are a few pictures from retreat (there are only a few because I was too busy having fun to take pictures!):
Margaret made Mary the cute apron - it has choir ladies on it!
Becky came and visited with us every day and let us into her shop - so much fun! Becky is an amazing long arm quilter and the Barn is filled with her quilts, a real quilt show in itself. I got to talk with Becky a little bit about her machine, a Gammill, (yeah!) and enjoyed "picking her brains".
The Barn is set up perfectly for quilting and the sleeping arrangements are just right. Can't wait to go back!
