I've got to figure out a way to go to the retreat this year.  I was telling them about you guys, talking about how long we had been doing it, how much we have shared over the years. 

Let's ALL make that our stretch objectives for the year!!

What girl! You get that dog a crate with a nice fluffy bed in it and he starts sewing with you!

Yes!  Dogs, especially when trained young, come to think of their crates as their private, safe private room.  Our Molly used to go to her crate when there were too many people or noise and activity in the house.  She would hang out in there as she knew was by herself.

Ami, Dee and Judy. That’s so amazing for your kiddos to be “making their way in the world today”.

Thanks.  And know in some way the Valley of the Sun quilters have been a part of getting them there confidently.  Just by encouraging their moms along the way have reminded them of the deep love and power of long friendship!

Start a new tradition on your new ranch.  you always have a proper attitude. It’s just a big ole step. ♥?

You're right.  Thanks so much for your encouragement.  

That makes sense. I hope you get to keep the observatory!

He's living with my boss now and I am able to do what I like :) I miss him, but I don't miss being ruled by him!

Don't know if this helps, but I saw a video on Youtube and they talked about a quilting retreat: https://www.fabricpatch.net/the-piece-and-patch-quilting-retreat-house-in-ephrata-wa.htm

(I have to pay to travel anyway, so it doesn't matter where)

Has anyone claimed?  Have not been able to post for months. Go figure. It’s working today

I have the same problem you have had.  Haven't been allowed to post.  I haven't been able to figure out why.  I've rebooted and that didn't help.  Signed in and out of the forum.  That didn't work either.  If you figure out the solution, let me know.  At least I can read the forum.

There are days I can't post either, frustrating.

We are out camping this weekend and enjoying the cool mountain air and spectacular scenery.

I have done no quilting for me lately but a lot for others. 

I have been making some clothes though as well as some bags for out camping gear.
