So, this post will cover the highlights of our retreat and it'll be long. Settle in. We start out the day with breakfast at the event center. I spot this quilt in the corner and it is now on my "want to make" list. I have even remembered some fabric I bought a couple of years ago that has been waiting for just the right project. This is it. Now to find the pattern today and some background fabric. Off to the Scavenger Hunt we go.
Good Morning from Eureka Springs! Once we are all ready to leave the house, a stop at Magnetic Spring takes place.
The third week of July is here and that means that the trek to Missouri is about to go down. I look forward to this trip all year long and am ready for so much fun. Our car left retreat last evening and spent the night at my house, thus we have Mister's help loading things up today. Yes, the tubs are required - they house quilts to be dropped off and then hold purchases upon our return.
The summer retreats are here and I am super excited. It's been seven weeks of family, which I loved, but I'm ready for friend time. Off I go.

Our theme this year, JOY!!! I believe we all need a bit of a help in adding this to our lives. 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 fair shot. Sometimes stepping out of comfort zones is challenging, but it almost always allows for growth. Here we go for June: Where is this year going? June has arrived and the joy of summer has begun. Take a few minute to find the JOY in the little things. It's really very simple. Check out a cloud or flower - listen to a child - sew a straight seam. Small things that make us smile. That's what it is all about.
We are on the road today and as we go through Seeley, MT, Mister and I spot a quilt shop that is just about to open. With a bakery stand right across the parking lot, we decide to wait and check it out. Welcome to Deer Country Quilts.
I am in Provo, UT spending some time with my daughter and grands. While en route, I finished up the pillow sham to match a quilt I am gifting my granddaughter for her birthday and I need a pen to write on the label. I feel as though I packed the entire studio with me in the car, but I don't have that item. At any rate, there is a shop near me called Harmony. Come along for a peek inside this cute little house.
