My quilt group does a 3-day "home retreat" about every 4 months. We bring whatever we want to work on, set up at our regular meeting place and work all day. We either go out for lunch or call in pizza, etc. We "work" all day, leave about 4 or 5 p.m., shut the door and come back the next day and pick up where we left off. We have 3 great days of sewing, fellowship, helping others or getting help, etc. It doesn't cost a bundle and we get lots done! It also saves money we can spend on more projects!!
