Well, the Retreat at the Villa Madonna Retreat House, ended yesterday and I thought that I would post some photos that I took of the weekend. It was a great time, and everyone got work accomplished of one sort or another. We had a fun time, lots of giggles, sewing, jokes, quilting, sharing, demos, laughing, cementing friendships, eating, show and tell, treats, , knittingsurprises, shopping, and of course not necessarily in that order!
So lets have a look at the weekend...
