💗One of the sweetest things to happen at A Place to Sew in my seven years is when some members of the Candlelight Quilters gathered to stay overnight and relive memories from when they used to come for retreats. At that time, most worked at the same hospital so it was a getaway to hash out world problems, catch up on family topics, spend time with friends, eat, laugh and also get some quilting done. As life moved on they stopped coming but then one member, who found A Place to Sew and then made the plans each year, was dealing with a serious illness. So the others surprised her with this gathering--not letting her know where she was going until they were part way there! As one member said, what we can give her is our time. What a priceless gift. The friend passed away this month but as the member said, "We have our memories."💞

Last weekend's group worked on these beautiful Quilts of Valor, which are awarded to those in service and veterans who have been touched by war. The session was organized by Karen Demaree, state coordinator for the Quilts of Valor Foundation, with support from A Place to Sew.

A recent group had fun swapping fabric with pet motifs--mostly cats and dogs but also snakes for humor--to make quilts. Love when groups work together on a theme. One guest also made four quilts from shirts worn by her father who passed away a year ago.

I took one last trip across the Black Hawk Bridge to Lansing, Iowa on Sunday before it closed Monday. A car ferry will start up in a few weeks and a new bridge will open in 2027. But I will miss this iconic bridge and the rumbling sound as you drove across the steel grid deck.

A Place to Sew is ready for the group coming this weekend to work on their scrapbooks and I love that idea. I hope all of my guests are getting the chance to gather together with people who love them if not today than sometime in the future. I am grateful for all of you and what you bring to the retreat and to each other.

Come to QuiltFest on the Mississippi today and enter a drawing for a free two-day retreat at A Place to Sew! So grateful my friend, Kathleen Meyers-welsch, who has stayed at the retreat, is helping me spread the word.
