Several years ago I attended one of Alex Anderson's Retreats and loved it. Alex is just a nice as she seems on her TV show, no pushing to buy her books, fabrics, etc. Retreat is kind of expensive but, hey, you're only 60 once, LOL!
Here's the info from her website:
2010 Alex Anderson Quilt Retreat
Every fall I host a four-day retreat in my hometown Livermore, CA. It was started and created because of YOU! Yes, that's right. My friends on the Internet convinced me that we needed an annual gathering place to quilt and play together. As a result, this retreat has turned into an annual event that I look forward to all year long. Each retreat has a different theme, and we also encourage guests to bring their own projects to work on. So whether you are working on the retreat project or "doing your own thing," Paula Reid, www.battsintheattic.com, Dale Fleming,
http://www.dalefleming.com, and myself will provide instruction on several approaches to curved and circle piecing. Again, the return rate of guests has been fabulous and deep friendships have been made. Please note that we now have expanded to two sessions.
First Session, October 14 through 17, 2010
Second Session, October 17 through 20, 2010
The prices are: Private Room $880, Shared Room $680, Bernina Rental $45
2010 theme - Curved Piecing.
