I have read a couple of the Oak Creek Series of books, and they really make me want to go on one. However, in July every year a few of my friends go away to "Homemakers Camp" which is affiliated with the 4H Camp in our state, and take our UFO's or go to the various 50 different craft ideas to make during the 3 days. I quilted last year. Painted in watercolor, made a bracelet, and there is a skit night that we always embarrass ourselves every year in the last night. Lots to do, swimming, boating, hiking. Regular old ladies camp. And some of these women are in their 80's. I am impressed how energetic they are and I can't just sit long as something is always going on. I hope there is a quilting station again this year. I am on my 4th quilt now.
