There's a quilting retreat from 3pm July 18th to 1 pm July 22nd at Threads of Time in Danville,Il. And another open retreat in Sept. but I don't know the dates yet. It's $35 per night, bring whatever you want to work on from hemming pants to quilts and join us. There's still room for more. I believe there's only 17 signed up so far and they can accomodate up to 35 sleeping there. You can sign up for 1 day or all of them. If you just come for the day it's only $15 but that would be a pretty long drive just for the day so you'd probably want to spend at least one night. You also need to bring your food or go out to eat. (I usually take mine) They have microwaves and refrigerators there plus lovely rooms, great sewing areas with lots of light, ironing boards and irons, 6 large design walls, and great people. There's also a fabric store and yarn shop attached.
