More About the Weekend Retreat


Three women, FIVE sewing machines and a kitty! Cyan, the kitty, was contraband. The only "rule" about the cottage for the weekend was "no pets." The kitty was well-behaved and potty-trained and too small to be left behind.

We set up our work area so that we had a great view of the lake. Carol drove her Chrysler Pacifica--and we were amazed that the equipment we hauled fit nicely into it. In addition to the tables required to hold the sewing machines and for work space, we hauled up an ironing board and iron, cutting boards and scads of fabric. Carol and Van each used two sewing machines-one for machine embroidery - which pretty much self-operates, and one for regular sewing. I took only one machine---but more about that tomorrow!
