The weekend before last I had the privilege to teach at Camp Stitchalot, a sewing retreat here in Michigan that is hosted by my friend Brenda over at Pink Castle Fabrics. I finally got my photos uploaded and labeled today so you can experience the fun and awesomeness vicariously through my photostream.I was thrilled that Katy Jones, Melody Miller, and Rashida Coleman-Hale were also "counselors" for the weekend. We had so much fun together, and it was great to get to know these incredibly talented ladies a bit more.

Katy (pictured above), who is just as hilarious and endearing in real life as on her blog, has already written a couple of posts about Camp that are really great -- so if you want to get a sense for what the weekend was like, you should really read her posts here, and here. She really summed it up for me with these words:
"Camp is all about hanging out with like minded people and not feeling like a nerd for wanting to sew non-stop for 3 days." - Katy Jones
It's so true. It was amazing how much sewing 30 people produced in three days. The thing that really made this weekend so amazing and fun was hanging out with so many different, fantastic people: women of all ages, sewing abilities, and interests. We had so much fun together. The sewing is great, but the experience of making new friends, talking, and laughing together is rather more important.
