We gathered as a small group in the Berkshires for our first annual sewing retreat. We stayed at a family residence, Laurel House, out in Becket Massachusetts. Amanda, Maureen, Sarah, and I all spent the weekend sewing and enjoyed ourselves immensely. While we had a fantastic time, we decided that a larger house would be better for our needs. Early next year, we will begin to plan a date to do another ladies' sewing weekend away. We decided that a yearly tradition in the fall works really well. Don's uncle will most definitely allow us to use the house for a long weekend away so long as we tell him in advance. Waldtreff will be a much better space for us to use where we won't have to move around much furniture. The large open floor plan at Waldtreff will allow us to not have to shuffle as much around, especially when people want to take a break or at meals. Need to discuss date for next year. Early to mid October is preferred but Waldtreff is typically unavail at that time...
