Group picture at our Quilt Retreat at Cambria.
And guess who came along…?! Podcast listener, Emily Hinkel of Truckee, CA.
It was SO nice for her to join us and get to know her and meet her family.
Check out more pictures of the retreat at this Flickr location: Cambria Quilt Retreat.
The next retreat will be September 19-22, 2008. The updated retreat page will be up shortly. Retreats are limited to 20 attendees, to keep the retreat cozy. If you think you might be interested in attending, reserve your space now.
Speaking about Passion and Purpose:

I love listening to your podcasts while I do my walk.
The passion podcast was inspiring and makes me want to do more quilting with a purpose.
Hi Annie, A fellow blogger sent me to your site where I was astounded to find you’d visited my blog and mentioned me on your blog and in your podcast. I am very honored! Thank you so very much!
I especially chuckled when you talked about my HSY’s. On the stashbusters list we say any HSY that is more than a year old is a “brazen hussy”. I hate to tell you that mine are all branzen! My reason for listing them is to keep my mind focused on how many kits I’ve already bought so when I’m tempted to buy another kit I will remember this list and stuff my hands in my pockets instead of reaching for my credit card. Many of the kits are from my favorite quilt shop – in Longview, WA – called Momma Made It. I love the way she puts fabrics together.
The scary thing is this – the HSY’s aren’t even in my sewing room! My stash is so huge they won’t fit! Once I deal with all the various UFO’s listed then I’ll move on to the HSY’s. Stay tuned!
And thanks so much again for visiting and mentioning me.
Hi Annie…I was just able to listen to this podcast and it really hit home. I have two “passions”: horses and quilting. Horses came first and I remember telling my 80 yoa aunt that I was obsessed with horses. She corrected me and said I was “passionate” about them. That sounded so much nicer.
My aunt has since passed, so your podcast really reminded me of her. I’m sad to say she passed prior to my quilting passion, so I consoled myself by giving her older sister (who is still alive and whom I correspond with regularly) the second quilt I made.
Thank you for bringing back such happy memories!
