That sounds like so much fun. You know others loves to travel so you might get more from other states to come to your retreat. I am also working on one for Indiana.
As our meet and greets we have had others come from other states (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, KY, New Jersey, Montana). We have lots of fun and now planning on having a retreat or just a weekend sewing event.
We are having our 2nd meet and greet in Shipshewana, Indiana next Tuesday, October 19, 2010 for shopping at local quilt shops and I reserved a room at a local restaurant for 2 hours for show and tell, demonstrations and lots of fun.
Have fun!
