Retreat Week(s)

This week, starting last night, is the week for the Hale Country Quilters retreat. Everybody (well almost) had their stuff set up and were sewing by 7:00. We weren't to arrive before 6:00. I hadn't planned on sewing last night, but just setting up for today. 

And then we got to talking and I figured, as long as I'm here...

Just half of the room

There is more 'room' behind me and more again off to the right there where people are sewing. There are 36 of us this week.

Next week will be the Quirky Quilters Quilt Guild retreat at the same place. That one doesn't start until Monday morning (instead of Sunday night), but again, goes through Thursday. I don't know if we'll be down here in the main retreat room or if we'll be upstairs in the sanctuary, since there's usually much less in attendance. 

For both of these, I'll be here in the studio working in the morning and then heading to the retreat center after lunch.

Jim is at the doctor this morning for another follow up appointment from his fall. His DM still hasn't returned his phone calls and neither has the co-worker that was with him. The customer whose property he fell on said he'd send a statement about watching him take his tumble, and yet, a week later and nothing has come through his email. I smell a rat.

At any case, Jim has an attorney doing some investigating and is pitching for our team in getting this settled. It's a shame when the honest person gets punished for bad people in the past. 

I'm going to be working the Halloween quilt on Bernie this morning. Once Jim has returned we have a lesson on how to load and start/audition a motif for the quilt going onto DW. We may or may not start it today, but if not today, then tomorrow we'll get the Pro Stitcher going.
