Now that I've read all of what goes on at retreats, I can't wait to go on one. I would only be able to do it on a weekend.. Does anyone know of any coming up within two hour drive from NYC? I think I would bring stuff to do that doesn't require concentration, such as putting my postage stamps together to make the quilt.. I'm not very advanced in my quilting skills as I don't have much free time, so simple that doesn't take much concentration would work fine.
