I just got home from a 3 day retreat at a LQS 100 miles away, so dishes and laundry have top priority today. Germanquilter, I feel so bad for you having to miss out on a retreat. What a disappointment. I teach, and my students have been sharing their germs with me all winter. I was so worried I would pick up something and not be able to go and enjoy it. I do have a Mondo bag I started, and would like to work on that today, I guess we will see.
