I don’t see why not! A get-away is a get-away! And a sewing retreat in a camp ground is just what I’m talking about. Or... at the beach, or... in the Maple trees in Fall, or... in a wheat field on a warm & breezy day....
Well, maybe not IN the wheat field, just next to it in a pavilion or something....

Has anyone ever been to a quilt retreat that consisted of only people-powered machines or hand sewing? It seems that a retreat where only treadle and hand crank machines were in use would be fun, and a great opportunity to use vintage, antique, and modified machines in a group.

I took the cabinet for my Singer 201 to the NE-TX TOGA last year. I was bringing home a Singer 66-1 Redeye and of course needed to be sure that it treadled properly. 
) The straight leg treadle cabinet fit just fine in the back of my Ford Escape ; to bring it back home I took the machine out of the cabinet. There is a photo of me in NE-TX TOGA photo files under Dwain-2011 TOGA sewing with my Red Eye, I'm wearing a purple tee shirt.

Just read about TOGA or PP's. Sounds strange. Must tell you tho years ago we used to take campers down to the beach and spend three or four days depending on weather. Most now do retreats at hotels instead of at beach campsites but I must say we all had a great time and got a lot of sewing done too. Learning not to intrude unless you are acknowledged was protocol which for me was nice as I can't even chew gum and sew. As soon as someone got thru the tricky parts, they get up walk around and talk to others or start BBQ's or fires for evening get togethers.
