Last weekend I hosted Fabric Expressions first annual “Mystery Retreat at the Quinberry Lodge in the mountains above Black Hawk, which is about a hour west of Denver.
A group of 12 ladies spent a
long weekend together sewing, staying up late, laughing and of course eating.
Before the retreat began
everyone was giving a list of supplies to complete the mystery quilt. You did not have to make the quilt if you did not want to. I gave out the clues once everyone had
arrived and had there sewing machines set up.
Clues were given throughout the weekend and the mystery was solved
Saturday night. Many people finished the
mystery and were planning the borders before the left on Sunday.
There was time in between the
clues to work on other projects, Everyone’s sewing machine got a workout, Everyone
one was sewing early in the morning till late at night.
One of my favorite parts is
the food. Everyone brought snacks to
share and I made the meals. I love
snacks. There was also wine and margarita
in the evening for those who like that kind of thing.
My brain is already planning
next years retreat. I have my
reservation for 2016
