2-man retreat
So, just decided with my friend, that we are having our own little
retreat on Saturday. Some would simply call it a sewing day, but we're going all out! Not sure what we are doing yet - she is a beginner, I've been out for about a year, and we just have one day. I think placemats, because the size is good and doable, and we can then use whatever technique(s) we like. I might bring along a baby quilt that is 10 months late already... Hanne in DK |

Good for you!
Wish I could do that. I feel like an island here, not knowing anyone in my town who can meet up for sewing. Looking forward to next March for my 3 day retreat in Buellton!

oh, that sounds like fun, Hanne.
I hope you manage to do as much as you hope. As I have just discovered, there is nothing quite like it for making you feel good. If the beginner can finish a placemat she will feel she is well on the way to a quilt - which, of course, she is! Are you still doing scouts? Pat on the green .. In article , says...

Oh that is a shame. I am lucky here that, within about 10 miles, there
are several people I could sew with - aside from the group meetings, if I wanted to. March may seem like a long way off; but, the way time is rushing these days, it'll pass like lightning g Pat on the green .. In article , says... Good for you! Wish I could do that.

She said she did a table runner a couple of years back, so I think
placemats should be doable :-) We'll see. Just hanging out is actually important, as we have both been travelling too much the last couple of months. Yes to scouts - my pack is doing just fine here in Copenhagen (29 boys now, up from 4 a year and a half ago), it is hard work but also very rewarding. I continue to support the older scouts mostly on district and Summer camps (did 4 weeks total at two different camps this summer), and just got my OA brotherhood 2 weeks ago, for those of you who care about that. I can't imagine life without scouting, and actually my sewing buddy is also my scout buddy :-) Hanne in DK Den 13-11-2013 19:09, Patricia Storey skrev: oh, that sounds like fun, Hanne.

Gosh, Hanne, scouting is turning into a part-time job! Good for you.
What an achievement to get such a huge number increase. Wow! How nice that you share both interests with your friend. Have a wonderful day on Saturday. Pat on the green .. In article , says...

Congratulations on your OA status. That is indeed an honor.

Thank you, Mary. In some ways, nothing changed, yet at the same time,
everything did! Hanne in DK Den 14-11-2013 20:04, Mary in Rock Island IL skrev: Congratulations on your OA status. That is indeed an honor.
