Comments About This Workshop Dear Joyce, I know it’s belated, but I want to thank you for our fabulous Sewing Retreat in November. I learned a lot, reclaimed some confidence in fitting and am most inspired to create? So I noticed the dates are set for the next Sewing Retreat with Linda and Louise. I’m enclosing my $100.00 deposit so I can go again. The handling of every detail-even box lunches, your home entertainment (what a fabulous home-your husband would be so proud)- all the details were cared for and I appreciate it. I thought we handled the renovating hotel very well! Keep me posted on the details of the Sewing Extravaganza (i.e. getaway) October 26 thru 29,2008. I do want to say, if I lived closer, I would come to many classes. You and your staff are the best. Sincerely, Patty McKenzie Dear Joyce, I want to thank you and all the “Waechterettes” for a perfect four days of sewing and fellowship. I can think of no detail that was left unattended nor any request that was not immediately seen to. I know you all put in a lot of hard work and it resulted in everyone having an enjoyable, productive time. Many thanks again. Fondly, Virginia Dear Joyce, WOW! What a fantastic workshop with Linda and Louise. Everyone was so helpful and pleasant: particularly you and all the Waechterettes. We are looking forward to another workshop- as are other members of our sewing group. We know this took an incredible amount of time to organize so we thank you. Lu Ann Shuman Dear Waechters, A belated but no – less – for – it hearty thanks for the truly remarkably fabulous sewing seminar and the luscious surrounding events.
