I really enjoyed meeting you and being your roomie (again, my apologies for the snoring). I had the best time. I love the progress you've made on your flock block quilt.

I told my husband that I was taking an extra suitcase in the car with me when I go on vacation just for all the fabric shopping I was planning to do. He laughed and said he didn't care as long as there was money for it. Silly, because he should really be concerned about the lack of room for it in the house. Sounds like you had a BLAST at retreat. Now I have retreat envy. And just what is wrong with batiks? I love them! :)Jessica Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787149198274991713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-24853357899313070152010-06-25T16:30:19.396-05:002010-06-25T16:30:19.396-05:00Your recap just made me cry!

In fact, I want to print this post and pin it up on my bulletin board above my sewing machine for inspiration from my wonderful new friends!
