I'm going to a quilt retreat called Sew Brimfield. It is being run by the ladies from Brimfield Awakening. This will be my first quilt retreat and I am so excited. Have you been to a quilt retreat and do you have any tips (please leave in the comments)? The retreat is in northern Virginia so I can drive and takes lots of stuff, plus it is in early November so I have plenty of time to plan projects.
The Brimfield Awakening team is all about English paper piecing, but you can work on any type of quilting at the retreat, with room for a sewing machine, etc. I have a hand sewing project called Dot Dot Dot (pattern by Laundry Basket Quilts); this is very long term project for me so I'm sure I'll still be working on it in Nov. If I have a quilt finished and quilted by then, I'll likely take it along to bind it. And I'd like to take a piecing project as well. Lots of time to plan!
This sounds very fun. The anticipation and planning will be almost as fun as the event itself. Enjoy all of it.
ReplyDeleteThe best part about a quilt retreat is being surrounded by excited, energetic, creative Quilter's. You're going to have a fabulous time.
