A group of us try to get together for a retreat a couple of times a year - at least we used to. And then we couldn't find a place and life got in the way.
But this past week was a dream come true week. Did you hear the Chicago Cubs won the World Series? And four of us got together for a retreat!
I've been a Cubs fan my entire life but not quite as die-hard as my husband, my brothers, and my in-laws so the week was unbelievable. Before this fall, the last Division win for the Cubs was in 1945 and the last World Series win 1908.
And the 4 of us - Sandy, Barb, Krista, and me - got to go on a retreat together. We found an airbnb rental - The Farmhouse - that is rather close to all of us. It's not a retreat center but we took tables and lights and it all worked well.
We had a great visit, accomplished lots, and ate well. Here are some of the finishes.
This is Krista's quilt again - she use the same pattern from the newest Block magazine that ...
We didn't have design walls so I took the last two pictures at home.
Hopefully this will be somewhat of a quiet week - I need the rest! I've caught Ray's cold/cough. Think I'll just be lazy as much as possible.

We were out in the country and had gorgeous weather.
