Sussex Vale Retreat 2014

The Villa Madonna , if you've never been,  is a wonderful place for a retreat.  Here, the first night, with another group dining at a later hour , the ladies graciously seated our group in the private dining room so we could be as giddy, or serious as we liked. It also gave them the opportunity and time to set the tables for the banquet group that were also at the Villa for that night.  The rest of the time, we had our dinners to ourselves...and let me tell you, they fed us extremely well. Your eyes are not deceiving you, the picture is blurry...I wanted to get everyone in...maybe Ethel put a hex on me for taking her picture too. Here's our sewing room ...that is Marilyn's Oh Canada quilt...she brought it along for Pat Byrne to use as a guideline in finishing her own top. Isn't it a great room to sew in...so bright..lots of windows, lights, tables, plug-ins, a big screen tv, a small washroom and a library ....who could ask for more. Marilyn working away o
