This week is my biannual retreat with my Handwork group! It is perfect timing. I got back from Quilt Market in Houston last Tuesday night and was useless for several days*. Now, I'm ready to go again! As usual with quilters going on retreat, I'm...
I'm on retreat this week with my wonderful Handwork group. We've been meeting every other Tuesday for about five years now. Most of them are hand quilters while I usually do hand applique. Some of you may remember that I've spent a large percentage of...
