They take care of each other. You know when “LeeAnn’ has taken over she will always claim the other is evil. Lol

Jetta - LeeAnn, (Lol). I was glad to help moving along the quilt from h....
so many have helped me when stressed over them. Besides, so many this year helped me. What goes out comes back again....
besides, Patty made tops for my church group which really,really help me keep ahead of my group. And then I was able to share an overload of fabric bundles that needed to begin getting used! Thanks to Viola, Shelley, and others for doing that!
oH, and Mishi May be bringing back some fabric kits for charity next year- along with myself - for anyone who wants to keep this going!

you showed me neat stitches! As a matter of fact, I’m gonna pick up my hand sewing and test a few of those right now so I get them firmly in my mind! Thanks for that reminder!

I enjoy doing a mix of charity stuff and personal stuff at retreat so I would be happy to help out again next year. It’s fun to bring something personal along that I need help with, but the retreat is not the ideal place for me to work on anything too complicated. Charity quilts are a great way to get some sewing in, between the shopping trips, games and conversation.

Patty, I can’t tell you how excited I was when I saw that I was going to be your secret sister! I think I might’ve had the easiest job of all finding things that you would like. Thanks for being a good sport about the jacket. 100% we both need to bring them again next year.
