Tea @C&T
Q: What do authors do when they aren’t at home quilting or on the road teaching?
A: They retreat!
Recently, a group of C&T authors were attending a retreat in Northern California, so we invited them over for tea. We love a good get-together, so with all the Editors pitching in, we threw as authentic a tea as we could muster:
- “Proper” English tea in china teapots, and of course since it is Northern California there was also herbal tea and lemonade
- Scones, jam, and clotted cream
- Ginger cookies
- Lemon mini-bundt cakes
- Sandwiches – cucumber, deviled ham, and egg salad
- Cheese biscuits
- Strawberries
- Mints, nuts, and chocolate hearts (it was close to Valentine’s day)
We love getting together with our authors. We do most of our work by phone and email so sometimes we don’t even get to get to meet them.
We also had a chance to go meet them at their retreat and to see a bit of what they were working on. View more photos of the tea and retreat here.
The retreat happens every year, so we may have to make this an annual event.

Yummy that looks good and very fun. . .
I love the brilliant colors of the work-in-progress on the wall behind your guests!
Liz’s ginger cookies were the yummiest ginger cookies I have ever had. I didn’t know ginger could taste so good. (That’s why they disappeared within minutes).
