I have been to scrapbook retreats and really enjoyed myself. I would think they both would have the same type of atmosphere. But we did have several bottles of wine at the scrapbook retreat lol! There is a LQS about 30-45 minutes away so I can check with them. I will definately google/bing quilting retreats. Thanks for all the advise. The only problem I for see is I am an insomniac. When I went to the SB retreat my sister and I shared a room since she was used to it. Hopefully I can find one to go to.
