Nova’s Retreat in Rockport
Stitching by the Sea
The Retreat in Rockport, Stitching by the Sea, was a wonderful success!
We had nine states represented.

Sisters got together to enjoy some sewing time together. "Ya'll out did yourselves, thank you for EVERYTHING!! Look forward to attending another Retreat." |
|
| Beautiful sunrise. |  |

"Thanks for everything Nova. I felt at home from the first minute I walked into the room. I feel I can take better care of my Featherweight and not be afraid to clean it. The Mystery Quilt was fun. Food delicious. Just a great time all the way around." | |
| "Beyond my expectations! Came here not knowing anyone and leaving knowing everyone; was so nice. Finally getting to meet you in person; meeting Diane - the event was so personable. The best retreat I have ever attended!" |  |
|
 |
"The ice-breaker games were very fun and, wow, great prizes! Wonderful way to help us get to know each other. It was a very fun week." | |
| "It was great to sew for a day and then fine tune things on my machine. Please do the recipe book. The games on the first night were good ice breakers. Thank you for the generous prizes for games and 'Chinese gift exchange'." |  |

Guests relaxing on the balcony - enjoying the great weather. | |
| "Nova did an exceptional job with this retreat. She and Diane did everything possible to make the retreat a wonderful experience for everyone. The meals were fabulous! Thanks to Diane who graciously opened up the room for us early birds." |  |

Since this Retreat was named "Stitching by the Sea", the Mystery Quilt had an NCIS theme. | |
| What was your favorite thing? "Featherweight Knowledge" "It is always wonderful being a student of an instructor that loves what she does! Thank you, Nova - for the steadfast research of our beloved Featherweights." |

"Your energy and passion for the Featherweights as well as your hospitality created a retreat that conveyed knowledge, lightness and joy. Loved the laughter and sharing!! Also learned a lot!!" | |
| "Loved the little extras (snacks, goodies on the table after break, games and prizes), the meals, the choice of fabrics and quilt pattern, having the shop available, having Diane here as your helper. Oh, and the women who came-- so much fun!!" |  |

Diane is usually the one behind the camera (this photo is pretty good evidence as to her superior skills with the camera). Thank you, Diane! I couldn't have done this Retreat without you! | |
