Once again this morning I found myself reminiscing about the retreat-I was putting on my socks! I want to thank you all for the fun, friendship and all the wonderful and useful favors you gifted. I am already trying to figure what to make for next years favors that can live up to those of this year.

I saw something a couple days ago that I am seriously considering making. But do I really want to sew 45+ zippers? One-shouldered Pat did, so I should be able to.
Since Carol aka snippet already used my brilliant idea for next year at the retreat this year. And here I thought I was ahead.K is for Karen 😊​ Albuquerque, NM..................

I have been to two weekend retreats in the last two weeks and everyone is googoogagaing over all my favors. Where did you get that, whats this, on and on. I love everything and am using 99% of it. My make up bag the last two weekends, all of my sewing favors, oh my goodness, so useful. Thank you all for being so creative.

I agree! I use some favor every day and think of the person who took the time to come up with the idea and/or make it! It was my first retreat and I was amazed at everyone's creativity and generosity. I wore my socks to our recent guild meeting with our tie-dyed guild shirt! Thanks to everyone!Brenda. :icon_wave:

LOL Karen, well I'm glad I was the early bird and got the favor idea done first! LOL
Sue: undies would be so cool! But sizes would be a problem I would imagine.
It wasn't until I ate all the candy on the glass plate that I really noticed the etching/engraving on it! How was that done?
I've taken the favors to two quilt groups and they were a hit too. Every favor was greeted with ooh's and aah's and 'I want that pattern' and 'how creative!'
Thanks to everyone for their thoughtfulness in making/buying the favors. Because of you I smile when I'm sewing.

I was just signing in to let you all know how wonderful the favors were, and here is this terrific thread! I have finally cleaned my sewing room, and a part of that included finding homes for the favors. Seeing them all again made me think of all of you. What a wonderful retreat we had!
Asta, I'm glad that YOU started this thread because I have a great story for you. On Saturday, I needed some bobby pins for a costume. I haven't worn bobby pins in decades, so I thought I'd go raid my daughters' bathroom (they're all grown and out of the house, so anything left is fair game, yes?). But I kept getting this visual memory that I'd just seen some bobby pins somewhere close at hand. I realized that there were bobby pins on the fabric boards you made. Voila! My hat stayed on all through the costume party, thanks to you!
I love everything you all gifted. The favors live in my sewing room, my bedroom, my dining room and more. I think of all of you regularly. Can't wait for next year!

I too love all of the favors. The amount of creativity boggles ones mind. I am trying to think of something different for next year, but am having a really hard time. Thank you one and all for the amazing favors. You really do rock it out of the park.Blankets wrap you in warmth, quilts wrap you in love

I loved all the favors, also. My husband took a couple of them and put them in his trailer to use. I have used everything so far. I too, noticed the words on the plate after all the candy and crackers were eaten -- so cool. I used it to serve peppermint bark on during the holidays. Also, I have been perusing pinterest and other DIY sites for ideas for this years retreat. This retreat was my very first one that I had ever been to. I went to one in Jan. that my quilt guild sponsored. I kept thinking - at the M* retreat they did this, or that. It was good, but not as good as M*!!! Can't wait for this year.

I don't think I've seen this before, but when I read 'one shouldered Pat', it made me giggle!
One thing I use everyday I sew is my little bottle top pin cushion. I had it stuck to the top of Walter, my industrial, but every time I had to tip him back to change the bobbin, the thread from the cone thread on the thread stand would get tangled up in it. Well, I pried it off earlier today, thankfully only a little of the sticky part stayed on Walter and I got it off. Then I took my bottle cap and stuck it on a magnet so I can move it easily if I have to! I with my other machines were metal as well, but they aren't. Maybe I will make one for Matilda.pat.
No rain....no rainbows!

by bkwdaytonI picked some extra work hours last night.
While working, I stressed, or obsessed, over the Secret Santa project and my assignment.

February has really flown by, even with having an extra day.
Did this mean extra sewing time for you? I hope it did.
