It’s certainly a LOT of work to get ready for a retreat ! As I mentioned yesterday, I’m packing for a teaching trip to Chicago – BUT – before I leave I’m going to a retreat with one friend (and 11 soon to be new friends) at a lodge on an island on Salmon Lake — a bit south of the town of Seeley Lake, MT.

So — the machine is cleaned and packed, and I’m pin basting because my table is the right height!  Then have 2 other projects getting lined out —  it’s 4 days / 3 nights of quilt FUN!

This quilt is a 39″ square designed for my High School (yes – it’s been a LONG time).  I had my arm twisted.  The idea is to have folks sign it for the next 3-4 years — i.e. the classes of the early 60’s.  Then, I’m also making a lap size with 7 mustangs (you’ll see it later) that can be raffled.  Hoping to raise enough $$ to hand the school a nice ‘gift’ and this signed wall quilt. To sign it, they’ll need to be prepared to fork over some moo-la- just for the privilege, which will also get them ONE raffle ticket.

I have packed a camera — and posts will be dependent on access.

Oh yes – also packing my snow shoes.  I hear there’s snow – there!
