I don't quilt with family but I have quilting friends. This weekend we are having our own quilt retreat at Embassy Suites. Evening Happy Hour and morning breakfast. We cover the other meals and just sew, sew, socialize. Doesn't get much better then that. This time we have 4 rooms and 12 people. The bad part is I don't have anything major to work on. have a few small project that I will just do really slow.
