Our annual fall retreat was held November 3-5th. We had almost a dozen attendees, saw lots of finished projects, and a great time was had by all. Keep an eye out for announcements for future retreats.
Speaking of the retreat, that's where Jess S finished the quilting of our QuiltCon Charity Quilt! She showed us before giving it to the next person who will do the binding.

We had a discussion about some of our favorite time-saving techniques for sewing, including things like glue basting and chain piecing.
Finally, the Guild Bee sewed Swoon blocks for Laura B!
