I love Quilt retreats...I have been on many. The thing about quilt retreats is this....
no responsibilty!
We have someone make our meals....do all the planning and all the retreaters get to sew, socialize and eat.
So for moms..it is good because we get a "break" from the normal everyday stuff. But even for the ones who don't have alot of responsibility at home it is good to get out and bond with other quilters. I have to say from some of those retreats I made life long friends so it was worth the packing and unpacking. But i guess it just depends on the retreat and the other people that are attending.
