All of these quilting retreats sound great. Wish I had more time.......or should I say more of MY time. I am retired but feel I need to spend 3/4 of my time with retired hubby and 1/4 for me. He would disagree but I think he truly doesn't. As a group from my LQS, we all went to a friends rental and had a blast. I would love to think about Shutter Island, or California, etc. Ah, someday!
