Twice a year I am fortunate enough to attend a quilting retreat. We start at noon on Thursday and sew like demons til noon on Sunday. I try to have at least 4-6 projects with me to hopefully finish. I try to have all the cutting done and my design ideas firmly in mind, and sometimes laid out on paper. I pre-wind 10-12 bobbins of a neutral piecing thread, so when I arrive I am ready to really SEW. Its amazing how much you can get done with that preparation and no phones, no internet, no tv, no family, no pets to interrupt your sewing. I would love to try this on a weekend here at home, but it always seems something else comes up...sigh... Let us know how it goes!
