I have been to several retreats and just love them! Just went to one the first weekend in April. Just this year our Guild had our first and we are planning another in the fall.
We always just carry our own work to do. It is a great time to just sit & sew. No cooking, no cleaning, no telephone, no television and no responsiblities. At some retreats the meals are provided but at our quild
retreat we just had it at a local church fellowship hall and everyone went home at night. We had volunteers bring soup and sandwiches each day. Of course everyone brought snacks so we had plenty of food.
Most of the retreats we just sewed and checked out what everyone else was working on. At one I went to we would take a break and they had
someone do a short demo--one day a purse organizer, one pillowcases and one a sewing caddy.
At each retreat we always carry 4 or 5 fat quaters for bingo prizes. One I went to you purchesed your cards with fat quaters(you could get up to five). I won 45 batik fat quaters.
What ever you do I know it will be great fun and you will get a lot of
sewing done.
