I'm going to a retreat the last weekend of April. A quilting buddy and I decided to go up on Thursday, just to be bright eyed on Friday morning (plus we wouldn't have to fight Houston traffic). Also, I've signed up for a retreat in September with one guild. Am still waiting for dates to sign up for the other guild's retreat. Maybe it will be in October. Even though I am an empty nester and my hubby never bothers me when I'm sewing, I love getting away and having some girl/quilt time.
