Here is what Retreaters are saying about the DVD/Video
Yvonne Currell from New Zealand, “I thoroughly enjoyed the DVD. I've watched it 4 times now and each time I see more faces that I recognize. The 2004 retreat must have been a ball. Marilee was in better than ever form and as for Dr. Mary, she was out of this world. I would not have believed she was so talented. And I'm not talking about her sewing skills. I wished I could have been there, it would have done my heart and soul the world of good. I'm sure everyone came away feeling exhilarated.”
Kathy Pierce of Sammamish, Washington, “ Penny the video was fantastic! I really enjoyed watching it. Pengy Production should be proud! And yes Marilee was as goofy as ever but I got more of a hoot seeing her with hair and Barb with her "la te da" hairdos of the past! And of course you haven't changed at alllllll! Great job”
Doris Kern of Puyallup, Washington, “HOORAY!! We went out and bought a new DVD player and I finally got to watch the Retreat DVD. It was fantastic. You two did a wonderful job on it. I am going to have to play it many more times to catch everything though. I kept telling my husband, "come - you have to see this!" He finally sat down and watched it with me. Thanks for all your work.”
Elaine Russell of Seattle, Washington, "That sewing retreat holds a lot of memories for me.
Not only
the wonderful gals, the terrific food & beautiful location,
but also the
sewing skills I gained that I use almost every day."
