My guild is also doing a similar event. We are having our "at home" retreat 9/28 and 9/29. No overnight. Local to all guild members and only $25 per day, come either day or both days. This will be the first "retreat" I have been to and I am looking forward to it.
Applique and JennyPenny...we are neighbors. Applique, I am up on Rt 3 @ exit 6 in NH. JennyPenny, you and I met at the Denny's a few years back.
