Sounds fun Sunnie. You should go. I haven't been to that one but I have been to one and had fun. I will never see those girls again but have memories and a mystery quilt and signature blocks from it. It was weird going with a stranger and meeting new people but we all had one thing in common, quilting. Gosh, it was probably more than 10 years ago. anyway, just wanted to send you a reply about retreats. Have fun !!
