My Bags are Packed

My sewing machine is in its pretty purple traveling case.
Sewing supplies are stowed in a favorite tote.
Jammies and clothes are in my trusty carpet bag.
I am ready to go!

Heading over to Louisiana, I will join my friend, the Southern Matriarch, for this year's Old Fashioned Baby Spiritual Sewing Retreat.
Please visit Jeannie's blog to view this sweet confection we will be stitching.
I hope the wonky eyes are up for the challenge!

Be back soon -- and maybe with at least a partially completed project!

  6. Oh, Jan, have a marvelous time!!! You will have so much fun and inspiration (both spiritual & sewing). Just relax and enjoy...you deserve this special retreat...and what a retreat...I just read about it...I will sit here in sultry TN and think about you in sultry LA!!!!!!! I will be sewing, too...but won't be surrounded with special sewing sisters! I'm praying for your wonky eyes to behave!!!!! But even if you don't sew a stitch you will have a grand time. I'm looking forward to a full report when you get home!
