I love meeting new people, and getting reacquainted with those I've met at previous retreats. The retreat/camp I attend also has a guest quilt shop for the weekend, so I also get a taste of other shops that I wouldn't otherwise have found. Last fall, I went to a 4 day camp and made 4 quilt tops, start to finish. I love the uninterrupted sewing time with no meals to plan and prepare.
