2nd Simi-Annual Guild Quilting Retreat

The time is growing closer and we are so excited that you are joining us for the Farmersville Quilt Guild Fall Retreat, November 3^rd  – 5^th, at Quiltagious Quarters in Celeste.  We all had a great time last April!

 Roommate assignments are as follows (upon arrival, check the card on the window on each door for your specific room):

Barb & Peggy

Pi & Lynn

Kathy & Elizabeth

Janice & Lesa

Sherri & Niki

Karen & JR

Pat & Susan

    Each bed comes with linens, 3 piece towel set, pillow, quilt, reading light, and luggage stand.  There are 7 toilets, 5 showers, and 4 lavatories.  There is a small sitting area outside the sewing room that will be great for some relaxation should you need a break from sewing.

    Sewing station assignments will be posted at each station.  There are great design walls from ceiling to floor, cutting stations, ironing stations.  Irons and cutting mats are provided.  I have attached a retreat packing list to help you with your packing.

    Meals provided:  dinner Friday, breakfast & dinner Saturday, and breakfast Sunday.

    Other things to bring: (note, there is access to a refrigerator)

ü Lunch for Friday (if arriving before 3 pm) & Saturday (in April we brought veggies, lunch meat, pimento cheese, crackers and other assorted snacks)  Note, there aren’t many restaurants in Celeste but you could drive into Greenville if you so choose.  There is a fully equipped kitchen.

ü Bring drinks snacks to share

    We will have door prize drawings throughout the event, if you wish to donate something as a door prize, bring it and give to Karen.

   Each participant will have a small tote placed at their sewing station.  We ask that you bring something for each participant(there will be 14 of us) to place in their tote.  It doesn’t have to be sewing/quilt related.  Use your imagination and lets have fun!

    We will have one group project (provided), but don’t forget to bring your UFOs, new projects, a book to read, whatever strikes your fancy.  It will be a great time of sewing, eating, socializing, etc.  Oh, and don’t forget the store is open to browse and shop until 5pm, Friday and 3 pm on Saturday.

   On Saturday afternoon, there is an opportunity to have a 15 minute chair massage ($15); 30 minute quilter’s massage ($30), one hour massage, also available.  There is an option of “hot rocks” to be used for an additional flat fee of $10.  Upon arrival Friday make sure you place your name on the massage list, payment for massage is paid at the time of massage.

    I hope I have not forgotten anything.  If you have questions please ask.  It is going to be so much FUN!

 Take care,Kathy

This block makes a beautiful quilt. I bet a beautiful QOV too.

JR #10 October QOV BOM

 FYI: What is a scant 1/4” seam? There are occasions when you sew two pieces together, carefully sewing ¼ from the edge of your fabric and find that the finished size after pressing the seams toward the darker fabric is slightly smaller than it should be.  When piecing a quilt, the perfect seam allowance needs to be a SCANT quarter inch, rather than a true ¼”. This is because the fold of the fabric over the seam allowance can shrink the finished measurement of the piece just a bit. To get a “scant ¼” seam, sew a couple threads narrower (closer to the cut edge) than a true quarter inch if needed. You can always test your seams using a couple of scraps before you begin.

TIPS for BOM #10

Lay out all the pieces then sew half square triangles together,

Sew together to make rows , ironing seam in opposite directions

(see below)

Sew rows together nesting the seams together

 Press good, square to 12 1/2
