Myrtle Beach Quilt Party

I have been preparing for my quilting retreat this week since Thanksgiving. Cutting fabric,buying supplies,sewing fabric,tracing patterns. I got so tired that my rest periods lasted longer than my work periods. Then I started stressing because some pieces weren't cut the exact measurements they should be. Then I stressed about still not knowing all the workings of my new sewing machine.Then I stressed about tracing my applique on the right side of the paper. My daughter and husband both said "How can you stress out about a retreat?" That is true but remember the spiritual retreat in Arizona where people died in the smoke house. Maybe those people should have stressed a little about being smoked like bacon and got out of the hut. I digress. Any way I quit stressing about the retreat. I am going to learn more quilting techniques and laugh with my girlfriends. I have a nice suite with a great friend. There is a free happy hour every night. Life is too short for me to be perfect in everything. I just wish I knew that years ago.
