I loved reading about it and hearing about all your shenanigans. I didn't wonder about David fitting in, because it was clear that he's totally having a ball and one of the artists. <br />Love the sombrero!

It sounds like you all had such an excellent weekend. I laugh about your needle changing. I am trying to break my own habit of overusing needles, so as a half-way step, I keep all of the "half-used" needles just in case I get a break and don't have any new ones. It's a hard habit to break, but I am getting there though. :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942853868409355316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-841503584332048056.post-82776299304809271232016-10-14T16:15:01.578-04:002016-10-14T16:15:01.578-04:00This must have been the best time for you all, and...This must have been the best time for you all, and those bolts of fabric, how could anyone choose between them? and then another shop to drop into.

Dave, Terry, and I had a good time working with monoprinting, if anyone wants more details. ;-)<br /><br />Now put that vacation day request in early so we can have an extra day next year just to sew.

Strangely my husband has that look too when I take yet another photo . - as for needles, I'm with you . I paper piece , I sew, I quilt and I only change needle when it breaks . I can't believe the fabric shops and the choice ! Incredible . And lastly , you never take holidays from work ?
