Only one more week...


See? I'm SEW Awesome.

Me and Andrea last year at QR. Typical.



These days at the end of March and beginning of April will always mean so much to me for a few reasons, but one of them is QUILT RETREAT.

I love quilt retreat.
Not just because I get to miss 2 days of work and school.
Not just because I get to do nothing but sew and laugh for 4 days straight.
Not just because I get to make beautiful things and eat great food.

I love it because I get to be with the people I love. I get to learn more about them. I get to make really lame jokes about sewing machines and rabbits and no one can say anything. I get to wear a shirt that says: "I'm SEW Awesome" and it's normal.

I love staying up until Andrea makes us go to bed. I love seeing what everyone makes every year and how proud they are. I hate it when I mess up because I'm trying to go Brockbank speed and I have to unpick EVERYTHING (A common occurrence). I love it when we all come together to make something with a little piece from everyone.

I love that I get to be with my sister at retreat this year. I will try to cheer her up instead of her always cheering other people up.

I love you Sarah. I've been thinking about you this week.

  1. Talia. You are sew awesome. I love your blog. I am also even more grateful I dont have a final next saturday now. This way I can see you before you leave for your retreat. By the way the retreat sounds magical.

  2. Also, I think we need to learn how to make normal faces in pictures. You'd think that 20+ years of life would have taught us, but no!
