Follow the Yellow Chicken and Balloon
I'm feeling a little like Dorothy on the way to see the Oz....The next two days of "traveling" to my retreat will be on a long, curvy path, with a few bumps along the way. But it is going to lead me to three days of fun and excitement at the first quilt retreat I'm hosting. And, I'm sure after three days, everyone will be ready to click their heels and get home. As I always tell Henry when I travel "it's fun to go places and meet people and see things I've never seen before, but it's always so good to be home."
To help my retreat guests find their way to the retreat house, my dad has created these adorable yellow chickens with a hole at the top to hold a balloon! We don't want anyone getting lost.
And, if planning the retreat wasn't enough fun, I received the following letter from a dear friend that couldn't come to the retreat.
"When you get to the retreat there will be a box there for you. You are to open it carefully, examine the contents carefully and choose wisely what you will do with each piece and when. Following the retreat you will report back to me with the results of your findings. You may not ask questions just do as you are told. The package is being sent UPS today I am assuming it will be there by Friday. This is your mission if you choose it…the box will recycle in 50 years or so. Good Luck Heidi!"
I accepted the mission with excitement!
Doesn't that just get your mind a turning...now I really can't wait for the retreat to start on Friday! The next two days are going to be packed with work at my real job and putting the final touches on everything for the retreat. So check back Friday night and I'll post some of the happenings of the first day of the retreat.

I love the yellow chickens that your dad made! What a clever idea! Your retreat sounds like it will be a real "treat" and I'll bet no one will want to leave. I look forward to reading all about it. Have lots of sewing fun!!!
