    Default Sewing at a retreat on Ocras Island, WA
    My daughter and I went to a retreat is past weekend. She was using my old Viking until it ran so fast by itself and smelled burned. It was her first experience sewing. We had a spare machine. A Singer Inspiration that worked well, except we needed to re thread it every so often because the treads would nest underneath. I did a baby quilt and she started a batik, split rails with diamonds.

    Oh wow what a view. Is that water? I hope your daughter still had fun anyway. Nice you had a backup machine. Pretty quilts.

    Orcas Island is such a beautiful place. Haven't been out there in over 40 years. Last time we went my DH's scuba team had a weekend of diving. Would love to go back for another weekend. Looks like you had a great time, even with the machine problems.
