P.S. The woods won't work because they don't have electricity.
I would be interested in going to a retreat if it was relatively close to here. But NOT in the woods, please - 'reminds me of Texas Chainsaw Massacre or my back yard FULL of chiggers, ticks and skunks!

I have been checking out retreats, and I was amazed at the vast differences in activities/classes being offered as well as the costs. I would love to go on one at the coast or in the mountains, 2-3 days of sewing, laughing, and learning sounds like a perfect mini vacation :D:D:D

Marsye, you are "such" a hoot....quilt retreat is the same as people go for scrap book retreats. However, if there is a quilt retreat in my area and YOU are going that is ONE that I will surely want to attend so that I can meet you. You are such a magnetic persons on this site. Heck, each morning I have to get a cup of tea and read the board looking for your reply/comments and of course the pictures you post. I am believing you are more of a computer wiz than a quilter...so we all out here will get a retreat going so that you will come and then you can show us a "thing or two". Bless you and do let us know if you go to a retreat. I really think it would be alot of "giggling women" and if not you would make sure we were. Bless you

I'm with you Lockeb, that is the cutest picture. I don't want one tho. Raised them as kids. They are very cute, but not something I want to take care of at this stage of my life. I will just sit back and enjoy the pictures.

The retreat I went to a few weeks ago was in the back room of a fabric outlet store. The people there were so nice to us. It was basically just a sewing weekend. We didn't have lectures or anything, but we sure got a lot accomplished. Last year when the same group did the retreat there, they got to go to the Omnigrid factory and see how the rules are made. I wish I had been able to be there for that one.
If you get a chance, go to one. Or even if you have a group of friends that sew, organize your own. I did that one time. I used some of our timeshare time at a vacation resort, got a three bedroom unit, invited 5 other gals and we all took our sewing machines and had a great time.
