It was a great weekend to be inside
with -28C temps..
So once again we transformed the Mother Theresa Center
at
Kenosee Lake, Sk from this......
to a sewing factory.....
with 16 women putting the pedal to the metal!!
Our amazing cook, Shelley ......
Took care of all the food....
It was time to start having fun!!
We are a little group of over-achievers!!
The projects being worked on are more and more advanced each year!!
To help lighten the mood,
Tianna Whitman did some spa treatment.....

ReplyDeleteDoesn't it???
DeleteYour group is amazing and I would like to single out Debra's Migrating Geese. WOW! Actually, WOW to all that you showed. I missed our guild this month because we were in NYC so it was great to see your show-and-tell.
ReplyDeleteThe migrating geese was a class we did a couple of years ago thinking it was a good paper piecing class. If you finished it, you can accomplish any pp project!! We will have to compile a slide show of all the finished migrating geese. They are incredible.
DeleteShould have added that I bet you had the best tan at the retreat. Loved reading about your trip.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you all had so much fun. By the way… I've been to Chicken, Alaska!
ReplyDeleteIt is always alot of fun with our little group.....lots of laughs and late nights!! Great therapy!
