My curvy drive down the hill from Julian was complicated even more with my “passengers”…bolts and bolts of fabric. The fabric and I were both headed back to Quilt in a Day after a wonderful four day retreat in the mountains.
We had forty plus gals in camp that came from as far away as Florida. Four gals drove from Missouri and packed the car with a friend from Iowa (probably stopping at every quilt store along the way). They all kept busy with their sewing goals, making Day & Night, Tossed Nine Patch, Quick Trip and Twice as Nice.
My truck was filled to capacity with the yardage left from setting up a store at Camp Cedar Glen last week.
An exhausted delivery driver, I’m finding help to unload!
Students look forward to a Tea Party each year at Bear’s Paw Ranch, my nearby home in Julian. It’s fun to host this event for both the spring and fall retreats.
Wow your car really is packed with bolts of fabric. I don’t think another bolt would fit! Wonder what a cop would think if they pulled you over? Definitely not a common occurance (pulling someone over with a car packed full of fabric). Your quilt retreat sure looks like everyone had fun. Beautiful quilts.

WOW Camp Cedar Glenn, I use to go to youth camp there years ago. I have quilted with you over 25 yrs since before you opened the store in San Marcos. Glad to hear the Camp is still being used!!
