Quilting retreats are always a blast, and Rochelle's recent one was no exception, filled with podcast listeners, creative projects, and hilarious moments! Imagine a birthday cake quilt project where everyone used the same pattern but let their personalities shine with different fabrics – how fun is that? And who knew a backing fabric could cause such a stir, with everyone wanting a piece of that popular print!

Beyond the stitches, these retreats are all about good times and great deals! Rochelle shared a giggle-inducing story about a wardrobe malfunction that only added to the fun. Plus, a shopping trip to Red Barn turned into a discount dream, proving that a little negotiation can go a long way when it comes to stocking up on fabulous fabrics. It's clear that these gatherings are not just for quilting; they're for creating lasting memories, sharing laughs, and snagging some awesome bargains! Enjoy this week's show filled with lots of goodies!
