I’d really, really like to go on a quilt retreat. Everybody else does and I’d like to too.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be anything like that available round here and trekking halfway across Europe doesn’t seem to be a runner at the moment. Family, responsibilities….you know how it is!<\/p>\n
So I’ve decided to have my very own quilt retreat. My very own. Just for me. In my little sewing room.<\/p>\n
We have three weeks till the end of the school year, so it really needs to be soon, because afterwards it will be chaos round here. There are a couple of major jobs that I’ve been putting off for ages – steam cleaning the living room and kitchen floors and washing and reoiling the parquet – \u00a0both of which I hate, so I’m doing a deal with myself. Next week I’m going to knuckle down and do both of them and then I’m going to have at least a two day quilt retreat.<\/p>\n
I’m going to switch off the phone, totally neglect the housework and the garden, tell my clients that I’m already fully booked and can’t take on any extra work….and stitch and stitch and stitch. I’m going to baste and quilt the three tops on the basting pile, finish piecing the three quilt tops that are in progress and ….it’s going to be HEAVEN!!!<\/p>\n
Is anyone going to join me?<\/p>\n
