Absolutely go! Many years ago(probably 10) I too wanted to go to a retreat - alone. Where I go has a retreat 2 times a year, and I think i waited at least a year before I got up the courage to go. How silly of me, since I have had SO much fun every March and November and I have only missed one time in all those years. I still go 'alone' but when I get there I am not alone! Everyone is so nice and we love newcomers too! There is great food, snacks, conversation, and best of all - time to quilt. Even if you don't have the best time, hopefully you will learn something new, meet someone new, and get some uninterrupted sewing done.... and if this retreat doesn't quite fit - try a different one. I always come home inspired and renewed! Let us know about your experience!
