We are so excited for our first quilt show, June 28 & 29 at the Warrenton, OR grade school. Also my first time being a vendor at a show😱 not sure what to expect but here is a sneak peek at some of the items that will be available. I talked my brother into making shoehorns & ruler boxes to go along with the quilt ladders that Mack makes. I am making some quilt kits (will have 8 of my mystery wall hanging kits available),fabric bundles, patterns, some finished projects, painted rocks and not sure what else depends on what time allows. Mark your calendar so you don’t miss out! Please share so others can get their calendars marked!

What an amazing weekend here at the coast, Bruce and I celebrated our 45th Wedding Anniversary and a long awaited dream of mine came true🥰
I have always hoped that someday I would get to see the Northen Lights well after all these years it finally happened, these are not my pictures but they are pictures from here in Astoria, Oregon. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Hugs, Cece

The retreats are Thursday-Sunday average price is $395.00-$495.00 this includes breakfast, snacks, dinner, room, equipment except sewing machine and fabric. Sewing room is available 24 hours a day.

Quilting is my passion that I enjoy sharing with everyone. I love retreating with my family and want to share our experience with others that don't have the opportunity to have these get togethers.
At our retreats you have 4 days of no responsibilities except sewing what you want or joining in on the group project/class. These weekends are all about you! I do all the planning and meals you just come and enjoy!
