Illinois Quilting Ladies UNITE!!! We should all get together at Threads and Beds (a beautiful quilting retreat center in Danville Illinois) for a retreat sometime. The cost is only $35 per night for the first two nights, $30 each following night and that includes your linens and towels. (don't laugh, I go to a painting one where we have to provide our own bedding and towels)
It's attached to a wonderful LQS. There's "open" retreats every two months. Check out their website
