the toothfairy gave him $5!!!! Way too expensive for me, but then again I'm not the toothfairy in our family!

There were 45 women there and they all did amazing quilts or paintings (3 are painters)....a wonderful time each year!

You will love your quilt retreat! it is a wonderful time - I love to eat, sleep and work on my quilts all week - of course I have to wash all my clothes when I get home because they are covered in thread, but that's the beauty of it!!

Have a great time and be sure to post pictures!

Thanks everyone for your wonderful thoughts!! The retreat was a blast and went by so fast...I can' wait until October when hopefully I can go again!

My ds is definitely adorable - my dh and I each claim the genetic ties to that!! :D

Awwww Your little man is adoreable. Thanks for sharing the pics. They were fun to look at. Loved them all

Oh my gosh you sure got a lot done! They look GREAT!!

What more can be said for your toothless "creation?" He's darling and I'll bet it was a wonderful "cherry on top of the sundae" coming home from the retreat to your nice family. I also love all the quilts you guys made. I'm too old to be pregnant (thank goodness!" ...have 6 already) but wouldn't mind being on the "maturnity end" of the recipient list for any one of these quilts. :lol: Good job! Thanks for sharing.

I'm planning a retreat...my very first and don't know what I'm doing. I've posted a request for ideas on the "MAIN" thread of the board . If you have some "pearls of wisdom" I'd sure like to hear them. Thank you.

I LOVE that Spring wall hanging. Is it a pattern that is available???

the pattern is from American Patchwork and Quilting magazine from 2005 - I sat on it for a LONG time before I did it!
