Thread: Retreat gifts

I donated some items to a quilt retreat once & also found this company that was willing to send little sample packages of English Paper Piecing. Each packet had fabric, templates & instructions to make some hexies.

You might contact them & see if they still do this.

Thank you I will.

What a fantastic site - just what I had been looking for! Great free patterns and good prices for the hexie papers!
Thank you, thank you!

Lots of good ideas here....thanks ladies. Dunster if you want to come to the retreat you are welcome. It is located in Canada 2.5 hours north of Spokane Washington. If anyone wants to come let me know and I will send more info. Cost is $60.00 for 5 days and you can stay in the camp for free....or if you are not into camping the hotel about a mile away is $65.00 a night and if you book for a week you can get a better deal. The camp has cots with mattress and if you want to stay there....some of the girls do....I will supply the bedding. Just let me know if you can come and I will send you all the info. Dates are Sept. 9-13 & 14-18 Few spots left, but will accommodate you if you are able to come Let me know ASAP

Dunster I know you were joking...but I am not.....Open invite for 3 more people.

No it is $60.00 for 5 days, but you must also supply food & cook lunch and supper with another person for 1 day. That is one of the reasons I try to have an even number. Also why I look for bargains and free. Not much left after rent. In fact I don't make any money...contrary to some. I enjoy doing this and that is why I do it. PM me if you want more info

They make post it note style narrow stickers, good for marking pages in magazines/directions.

Scissors lanyard, glasses cases to hold rotary cutters (from thrift stores), check book cover. I made a cool sewing case from a $ store placemat. Fold up long side about three inches, divide into pockets, add small flat pincushion, a flap for a small pocket to hold needles. Add ties on one end so you can roll it up. Cheap and useful.
