"Spoil yourself and your sewing buddies. Sooo much inspiration to be found everywhere you look. Surrounded by like minded sewers. Entertainment blossoms in every nook and cranny. No end to the relaxation. You will be treating yourself like a queen and dreaming of your next visit.Put a reservation on top of your Christmas list and drop a bug in everyone's ear. Best gift you'll have ever gotton or given yourself. Accommodations are beyond beautiful, yes it is a little slice of heaven here on earth.

Thanks Judy, Katherine, Megan and the "angels" for a wonderful three day Ellisimo event at "Needle in a Haystack." I'm excited to try all the new things I learned about the Babylock Ellisimo Embroidery machine. The projects we did were so much fun and I can't wait to spend another fun-filled weekend with you!

"Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful weekend.  You all were so gracious and patient and welcoming.  It was a "one of a kind" experience (one I hope to repeat as after as I can)!  I just wanted you to know that all your planning and work you put into this wonderful barn and retreat is very much appreciated."

"I have experienced twice staying at the barn.  Both times were a wonderful experience and great learning opportunities.  Jeff and you have created a beautiful place to stay and allow us to create and share our love of sewing.  Your attention to detail and wanting everyone to be  comfortable did not go un-noticed.  A big thank you!"

Scrap Therapy with Joan Ford



~We all had such a glorious time and enjoyed meeting our new American 'cousins'.  Your hospitality is by far way above and beyond.

 All the way home we raved about the time we had.  What's better than 4 days of sewing, shopping, eating, laughing and wine?  I so enjoyed your stores and probably have enough fabric to last a few years (not to say I wouldn't buy anymore!!)

 I have nothing negative to say about the whole experience.  I am still glowing this morning.

Hugs,
