November 2023 Quilt Update

 


Our theme this year, Binding Us Together, is just so needed.  If you didn't get a chance to check out the post explaining it all --- here is the LINK to the initial post.  I'm looking forward to the direction this can take us all, but especially myself, if I give it a whirl.  Sometimes stepping out of comfort zones is challenging, but it almost always allows for growth.  Here we go:  November means the annual gathering is taking place and that brings such a warmth to my heart.  It is amazing to get together with the same women (and new ones as well) for the past 10 November's.  Crazy wonderful.  For this month, I would heartily recommend attending a retreat and starting those incredible connections of your own.  Retreats are such a special place, where we truly love one another and lift each other up.  Go for it this month.

The Roman Empire - Brazos Retreat

 The second weekend retreat of our November back-to-backs has begun.  The Roman Empire fun has begun.  To see all the decoration, please click on this Tweener Link as be did them during our "between" time.  The official opening event begins at Babe's with a traditional lunch.  Not a lot attend this time, but that doesn't stop us from having a great time.

Brazos November 2023 Tweener Time

 Welcome to Tweener Time!  Normally, this is a quiet time and we have only a handful of people staying as it is too far for them to travel home.  However, this time is different as we are being treated to a One Block Wonder class from Cindy.  It starts on Tuesday, so we DO have Sunday afternoon and Monday to be relatively quiet.  We'll see how it goes.

Once the house empties out as much as it is going to, I decide to take up some real estate and try to lay out one of my Civil War quilts.  Thankfully, I get help or it never would have happened.

It's a Medieval World/The Renaissance

 Our 10th November has arrived and this year we are doing a back to back.  It's the first time for that and I hope all goes well.  Debi, Stephannie, Stephanie, and I arrive early to get the room set up and decorations in place.  This weekend is a Medieval World/Renaissance theme and we're out to have some fun.  Take a peek at how the place gets a uplift for the event. (So I'm going to share a secret here - these window treatments are table cloths.  Maybe that's old hat to y'all, but brand new to my little brain.)
