Retreat Fun In Durango Colorado

Happy Monday sweet friends!!

I know I have not been around blogging much,

that is because I am mostly on Instagram.  If you

are Instagram look me up donnaslavendernest.

(Kim, donna, Lauren)

I had a great opportunity to go to Durango and go

on a quilt retreat.  I had not meet Kim, but we had

talked on the phone sew much I felt like I had known

her for years.  Kim has been in my online sewing bee

Sew Sweet Bee for like 3 three years and this is 

Lauren's first year.  I flew into Albuquerque where Kim

picked me up at the airport.  The first night we meet

Lauren for dinner.  These two ladies are a hoot and

sew much fun.  We laughed sew much tears ran down

our legs.  

The next day Kim and I drove to Durango and

this is where we stayed.  The Strater was built

in 1887.  While it has been remolded there are 

still some original components from 1887.  We 

found it to be very cool.   (but not haunted)

This is the room we sewed in.  It was down stairs

and we where told this room used to be filled with

silver back in the day.  How cool is that?

I almost finished my Texas flag quilt, but since I 

miss cut I needed more fabric.  When I can

take a better picture of it I will show you.

Hope y'all have a wonderful day.

Love and Hugs,

donna
