crazy about curves

By Patricia Belyea

UNION WA Three things defined The Patricia Retreat 2022 that kicked off right after Thanksgiving.

(1) Great food by Chef Cody and his team:

[2] A big snow storm that brought down trees and knocked out power for 12 hours:

[3] Lots of happiness created by cutting apart fabric and sewing it back together:

The second of two projects focused on interpreting poetry through quilt design. Patricia P of Colorado summed up her experience in a limerick:
There once was a woman from Okanogan
Who introduced me to yukata cotton
In spite of my nerves
I learned complex curves
Experiences not soon forgotten

The Patricia Retreat 2023, a five-night quilting experience on the Hood Canal of Washington state, is scheduled for next December. Registration will open at the end of January. To be on the Interested List, email Patricia: patricia@okanarts.com
