Tis The Season for Consumables
Leslie is still deciding about her Bernina. She also has uncluttered her room. They talk about the Countdown to Christmas box from Missouri Star. While Leslie has been using all the things, Rochelle has been using some, but is also giving some of hers away. Construction in Leslie's area is so bad that Rochelle took forever to get to her house and now has a big plan to get home in the dark with Christmas cheer. Lyla got her Grinch quilt and also has a chance to meet the Grinch. Rochelle is preparing for sinus surgery and will have to learn how to breath out of her nostrils instead of her mouth. You won't believe what she is having to do to prepare! This is quite an episode! Enjoy!Special thanks to Osage Hills Retreat Center for sponsoring this week's podcast.

The Christmas Troll
The girls talk Thanksgiving this week and do a recap of their retreat. They also talk about Leslie's addiction of Hallmark movies. You won't believe how this has evolved into a major problem for her. This year both girls received the Countdown to Christmas box and Leslie started talking about an idea to send Christmas cards to their folks. It is a hard time of year for those who have lost loved ones, so it's our opportunity as quilters to rally and do something kind. Thank you in advance for sending cards!To mail a Christmas card to the girls' folks:Leslie's Dad Wendell Welbern33 GirardFort Smith, AR 72901Rochelle's Mom Pat Rice5009 E Mulberry DrPhoenix, AZ 85018Enjoy this week's podcast.

Retreat LIVE from Sunset, Texas!
This week is a treat! The girls did a live show from their retreat in Sunset, Texas at Sunset Retreat. They had a few shy listeners join and watch as they did the show. It was a great week making new friends and sewing up a storm. They didn't JUST sew all week. They ate a lot of great food, took short road trips to local quilt shops and got massages! This is a great episode to sit, stitch and enjoy like you're at retreat with them! So sit back, relax and enjoy the show!Send us a textFollow Leslie on Instagram at @leslie_quilts and Rochelle at @doughnutwarrior
