The Inappropriate Quilters met at Cherry Springs Retreat Center in Texas, where they discussed their journey there, including Leslie's stop at Moda warehouse and Dee's experience with traffic in Waco. They shared stories about their current quilting projects, including Rochelle's pixel quilt of a Nutcracker and Dee's Elizabeth Hartman Show and Tell pattern featuring animals holding miniature quilts. They talked about Rochelle's handmade "Cowgirl Chic" outfit for an upcoming event, complete with needle-felted cats in cowboy hats, red fringe, and rhinestone-decorated boots. A highlight of their retreat was when Deb pranked Rochelle by placing over 200 googly eyes on her belongings, from her earbuds to her sewing supplies, which everyone found hilarious.
The quilters enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere at the retreat, noting how everyone worked quietly on their projects for eight hours straight, which they attributed to the lack of noise distractions that typically plague other retreats. They appreciated Sarah Nichols' hospitality at Cherry Springs Retreat, mentioning amenities like instant hot water and comfortable accommodations for up to nine people. Before concluding, Rochelle shared an insightful thought about the "invisible guest phenomenon," reminding everyone that at social gatherings, most people are too concerned with their own appearance and behavior to judge others, which can be freeing when attending holiday parties. BIG Texas THANK YOU to Sarah and the local quilters who came to meet Leslie and Rochelle during their stay. What a great treat! Enjoy!
