Craft Taffy Retreat 2013 - Part 4


There's a great antique store in McCall.
 They kindly opened up for us. 
Thank you to Gloria at
Farm to Market Antiques!



 One of the gals dug around and found 
herself a nice little Singer featherweight.
Kathy gave us a bias binding and
 machine binding demo.
She's got a write up of the retreat on
 her blog too and a bias tutorial.
As quilt tops were completed they
 added them to the banister.

They all need a
little chocolate by now.
For dinner we ate
 out on the patio.
Perfect evening.
Everyone got a fun gift.
 


 After dinner, Rachel gave an excellent
 Wilton Treat Pop demo.
They were so yummy.
Here's a follow-up post on Treat Pops!

Here's to Stacey and Des!
You guys are the best!
Thank you for the food
and the fun!

love you!

 

It was a wonderful retreat to be able
 to escape, sew and relax in the mountains.

Half of the gals came back from last year. 
They drove from CA, WA and ID.
So good to see everyone again and
 have new friends join us.

I always like to have a treat for
 the ride home for them.


This was one of my favorite things
to put together,
and I didn't get a picture
 of all of the little blue boxes :(((.

Hope they enjoyed
their snack boxes!





Thanks for reading along.

  1. Great group of people and you had such a wonderful time. The blue box is a perfect idea. I need to remember that for the grand kids.
