    Four days away in the Cotswolds to do nothing but sew and visit craft shops sounds like my idea of heaven. I can’t wait for the next episode. Have a lovely time girls!

    I accompanied My husband on a hunting trip to Canada. He hunted and I had 3 glorious sewing days in the hotel. It was so much fun. No responsibilities. Just sewing. It was the best time.

    You made me laugh when you said "I don't think I'll have taken too much if I touch all the projects". I apply a similar rule: I don't think I have too much fabric if I can touch it all!

    Tiny village houses are precious! We do zoom retreat every few months, about 60 of us over three or four days. So fun!! We made tiny houses during one of the retreats; I made twelve houses and six trees and created a fun table runner for my dining room table. It gets lots of fun comments. Your tiny village quilt will be fabulous. Thank you for sharing your lovely retreat. Blessings, Dawn

    You were so funny giggling at the amount of things you were bringing! Seriously, though, when you're shut away on a peaceful retreat you may get bored with just one or two things, so a variety is nice. I'm headed to a quilt retreat soon myself -- bringing an EPP project, embroidery, and basting a quilt (because I don't want to lug a machine and all that's needed with it). Blessings, Rachel.

    I read so many books set in the Cotswolds. This trip with your sister would be an absolute dream and you are both so talented. I hope you have the most amazing time. Since there are no airplanes involved, I say take whatever you like. If you don't get to it, no worries, you can take it back home. I can't wait to see your finished quilts.

Wow the houses are super cute, how big is the finished quilt and did you use a pattern. You did well so far. How wonderful that you and your sister share a love of quilting and other crafts I suspect. Lovely video.

      You are right, that would have been so handy for basting the quilt but also our machines kept giving us static shock on the needle plate and someone suggested covering the plate with painters tape. The machines are fine now, must have been an electrical issue at the cottage
