I'd love to have anyone be able to attend. Retreat is $220 which includes classes & meals, you pay for patterns, fabric or kits extra. We also have awesome state teachers. This is a small retreat, not over crowded or loud. Only 2 venders each year, but they bring a lot.
II've squeezed in 5 classes ea yr as I want to take all I can, but some only do the Natl Teacher, or 1-2 classes and open quilt & visit. Meals have always been very good.
This retreat avg's 80 participants. Classes are small enough to get attention from the teacher and time to do a majority of your project. We do themes, in past have been 50's, Christmas, last year was Aprons, 2011 is Hat's.
This is one idea for a way the "local" Quilt Board members could meet at a retreat, ND and around... or distant and willing to travel.
Motel is AmericInn $65/night and full continental breakfast. If someone wanted to come, let me know, I'd love to have you. Debbie
