Hello Quilters! This past year, we’ve enjoyed so many quilting events that I don’t know where to begin! In October of 2025, we enjoyed attending a quilt show in Houston, Texas and the graciousness of our hosts for our stay. In January of 2026, we joined a new group of quilters at a Retreat near the Virginia/West Virginia Line. I met many fun loving ladies there, and look forward to getting together with them again for years to come! I brought a quilt to work on to that event that is now in line for quilting, as soon as I get a chance. In April of 2026, I attended a wonderful Retreat at Bittersweet Retreat Center in Boscawen, NH and enjoyed being in a new place with old and dear friends. A good time was had by all! This month, I am getting so inspired by new fabrics and having so many quilting ideas that sometimes it feels like I can’t find my computer! I’m sure all of my quilting friends know the feeling!
