Maureen’s final retreat was a wonderful Christmas one – luckily the weather did not cooperate, and although we had some rain, overall it was a great weekend.   We had a Christmas tree with presents, greatfood including a turkey dinner on Saturday, many draws for prizes, lots of time for sewing and a great show and tell. Ann took pictures of all the show and tell, and I am sure that we will all see the finished projects soon, but here are a few scenes from the weekend. Many thanks to Maureen and her helpers for organizing the Retreat for the last…

Here are photos of the two girls sponsored by the Blue Mountain Guild.  The first is Mellon and the second is Lillian.  They both started at Alice’s Sewing School (in Uganda) last year.  They are learning how to make clothing and are practicing on paper sacs from cement.  They will have patterns for children and adult wear that they will take home to their communities when they finish.  The sewing machines that the guild donated will go home with them when they finish.
