August 25-27 retreat

Our very first retreat was amazing! We stayed at the beautiful Windward Retreat Center, and meals were deliciously catered by Gourmet Day Catering.

Our retreat swag was beyond wonderful, with patterns generously donated by Elizabeth Hartman and Alison Glass!

We spent all of the daylight hours and most of the night sewing — there were only a few hours in the night when someone wasn’t at a machine.

Val taught us to make fabric beads and shoe-holders that look like shorts!

We also snacked, chatted, snacked, and laughed a lot! For more pictures from our retreat, take a peek at #oahumqgretreat on instagram. 🙂
