You don’t have to tell me twice.
This is my awesome announcement: I’m going on a quilting retreat.
It’s like freaking Christmas over here. I lay awake at night and wonder what we’ll be sewing, wonder what it’ll look like even though I’ve already bought the fabric. It’s sort of pathetic, but in a really exciting way.
Here’s the scoop:
Saturday, I’m concluding my fun-filled Groovy Girls 2 class at Wish Upon A Quilt. Then, Scott is stealing me away for a weekend in Asheville, NC. Monday, he is promptly returning me to my sewing machine where I will sit and create for the following two days. I plan on doing a fair amount of baking too, when the sewing machine needs a break. I also might clean his house, but that depends on how much strength I can muster. Wednesday, my mom and I are embarking on our trip south to the Great Sewing Retreat of 2012. We’re going to make a half day pit stop at Mary Jo’s where we will spend entirely too much money before carrying on to our final destination: Conyers, GA. We will arrive in Conyers on Wednesday evening for a friendly competition between sewers – a Jelly Roll Race. After I claim my winnings and make my speech about my dedication to sewing, we will rest up for Thursday. Thursday begins the actual sewing portion of this self-proclaimed sewing retreat.
The real reason we are going on this adventure is to test an unpublished pattern that Terry Atkinson designed. I’ve never been to one of these before, so I have no idea what to expect, but it seems like a lot of fun. It seems like a giant sewing party. What’s not to love?
While I’m gone, I intend to write about all the fun things I’ve learned and made so you can follow along. Remember, leave a comment for a chance to win something wonderful!
