Time for a photo and then off to lunch!

A group of sewing friends!

We had this fantastic building, with 3 walls of glass, to sew in while we were at Asilomar.

Our sleeping rooms were in this building behind our sewing studio.

Bambi was right outside our sewing windows with its mom.

Betty is having a great time shopping...she is in Lois Hinse in Carmel...but then Betty always has fun!!.

Outside Findings, a small shop in Carmel

Note that Jackie is not in the photo...still inside shopping!! She found amazing treasures on this trip.

Interior of Findings in Carmel. Lots of ribbons, antique buttons, a few quilting fabrics, and some silks, etc. A unique assortment for a small shop.

Everyone found something they had to have!

Debbie, Jane, and Vicki are in awe of all the goodies stuffed into Findings.

One of the students made a swim suit. Jane was able to give her a great fit.

She said it was the best swim suit she has ever had. We are waiting for the final picture.

MaryAnn and Jane designed a new jacket from some of the wonderful and interesting fabrics MaryAnn brought with her.

She and Jackie stopped at several fabric shops on the way to Asilomar.

Sally made her shirt and jeans. Jane was able to get a great fit for her.

Traci and Jackie enjoying talking with each other.

Two friends have a great time together!

Vicki E is working on quilting the lining of her jacket.

Vicki has beautiful blue eyes and a great smile. She is making clothes that all work together and complement her eyes, skin, and hair.

Debbie made the blue rayon blouse she is wearing - a perfect fit.

Debbie has a last fitting on her slacks. Jane says she now has a "Post Office butt"...one that looks great to the person standing behind you in line.

Mary Ann enjoyed the retreat, and we all enjoyed her!

After using the crotch curve and adjusting the pattern, Jane was able to fit these pants on Betty to perfection!

Laura finished numerous outfits for her daughter.
