Retreat Time - Yea!

Tomorrow afternoon Peggy & I will go set up for the retreat.  Almost everything I'm taking is loaded in the pickup.  This will be our largest retreat - 30 planning to attend.  I think that's the maximum number of quilters I can manage! We will play a new game that I hope will be fun and won't interfere with our play/work.  It's called "Spooling Around" and I modified it a bit to fit our needs a little better.  We will do the "Guess the number of Strips" contest on Friday and will award the winner Friday evening. Last year's winner won 277 strips!  That's almost 7 Jelly Rolls!  The real fun will begin Friday when everyone has arrived at the retreat.  I hope my "Friendship Star" blocks are not too gaudy - I was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to use some of my "not tiny" scale fabrics.  I hope this new facility will prove to be an ideal location for our
retreats.
I'm shooting some "prayer arrows" for Angela's quick recovery so she will be well enough to join us Friday.
