At the end of my Christmas Vacay post, I mentioned that Gaylen will be sponsoring a Sewing Retreat at Carriage Corners the weekend of March 24-26, 2017. Also that I would be there to work with you on your sewing challenges, developing a TNT, and how to take a pattern and see design changes. Gaylen and I will also help anyone that wants to take a full set of measurements using Cynthia Guffy's chart.
Some information about the weekend ~
Friday, March 24th ~
Arrive by 10am. Then there will be a shopping trip to Fabric Mart where Gaylen will provide transportation so that we can travel as a group. Lunch at a local restaurant. Back to the Inn to set up your sewing area and a wine & cheese get together at the local yarn shop. Dinner on your own and free sewing time after that.
Saturday, March 25th ~
Sew all day - lunch and dinner provided
Sunday, March 26th ~
Check out of your room by 11am but sew until 5pm.
For the particulars on how to register for the weekend, costs and additional information, it's available on Gaylen's blog.
I hope you'll come out and spend the weekend sewing with us! I'd love to meet everyone and spend some quality time shopping at Fabric Mart with you!

ReplyDeleteSounds so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect sewing get away...but I'm already committed for that weekend :-( What's the date for the next one?? Have fun!

sosome - Cynthia published a list of about 35/40 measurements you should take in one of her books. It's the measurements I take and keep posted in the sewing cave. It makes flat measuring a pattern so much simplier.
DeleteI'm delighted that the date and location works for me, and I went ahead and registered this afternoon. I'm looking forward to a lovely sewing weekend. It will be wonderful to meet you.
ReplyDeleteBernice - I'm so thrilled that you will be joining us. Can you drop me a line at my email - it's in the about me section. I'm sending a special note out to everyone who's attending with some extra information!
DeleteI wish I could make it! Sounds like a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteDo you still like your Janome 8900? I have one but when I quilt with it using a walking foot it skips stitches like crazy. Took it in and the dealer said I had to use the purple Janome needle. Got it and seems better but not real good. Also it's a size 14 needle and I don't always want that big of a needle with what I'm quilting. Anyone have these issues and what did you do?
ReplyDeleteFirst - unknown do you have a name? And two, I don't quilt on my Janome 8900. I use mine for garment sewing and have written about my experiences using it that way. Hopefully someone else will notice your question and can answer it.
