In January 2023, a group of NYC Metro Modern Quilters Guild members traveled to beautiful Ossining, NY for three days of sewing and socializing at our annual winter quilting retreat.
As always, the sewing room buzzed with activity, the snack table was laden with treats and the fabric scraps table overflowed with bounty. It was great fun to see such a wide variety of quilts-in-progress, plus some finished quilts too...
As part of the weekend's festivities, we held a yankee gift swap...
We also held an 'orphan block amnesty' and ended up with a bumper crop of blocks that are destined to be turned into a sampler quilt...
Overall, our winter retreat was a great success and it was a really fun way to kick start the new year. We're looking forward to a quilt filled year ahead - and we can't wait for our summer quilting retreat!
