I just did a church retreat, my first retreat of any kind. the church payed my way. It was only $80.00 but we had like 25 ladies there, and it was so much fun. they provided the meals, and we all brought or own snacks. and it was just one big slumber party, some went to bed real early, some of us stayed up talking tell 2-3 in the morning. I won't be able to do a quilt one, because the money. but Marcie you need to at least one. it is a great time. God bless. Penny
