Sewing retreat - Knoden, Odenwald, Germany

This is the region where our patchwork retreat took place


Thank you Michael Schäfer (Panoramio)
 that I could use your photos

Here we spent three days sewing
chatting, eating and having fun

The start - we are furnishing the house with our stuff -
we made self catering - so everybody prepared
some dishes and brought them along -
but the main things were of course the sewing machines and the projects

Everybody had her own table and it was not too much space, we are eight sewing enthusiasts
Throughout the year we are meeting once a month
This was the first time that we spent three days together

I sew my Irish chain quilt together
and as I am in love with Jude's feathers (more about this)
I am  embellishing some plain blocks
There will be only a few feathers

  2. What great fun you all seem to be having. I love all the ladies' quilts, but am very drawn to the stars, and your Irish Chain with Feathers!! Lovely scenery, and a gorgeous place for you to enjoy your days sewing and chatting.
