It can be all of the above. I use to go to this every year, but too pricey for me right now. When I started is was between 500-600. It is absolutely wonderful, like being on a cruise without the dress up and you can go to your work room at night in your PJs or sweats.

Also you can have retreats with instructors or just a bunch of quilters getting together to quilt, laugh, eat and have fun.

It would be wonderful if you planned at retreat at that mountain park, ask Eddie to do a program and chartered a bus one day for a trip to Marshalls. How about it. At least we can dream.

Now that you know what a quilting retreat is..we should all gather at your's or Eddie's house, take a side trip to Marshalls, and sew up a storm :thumbup:

Well ok but I'm not a quilter, I just make applique blocks.....but I can make shrimp scampi, coffee and donuts for everyone. :wink:

Sounds perfect to me. You can even bring your hubby too. I wouldn't even care if I didn't get much sewing done. It would just be so fun to meet everyone...'specially you. I think we would be laughing non-stop :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've been on a mini retreat. It's called Cutting Edge Camp. It is Friday evening and all day Saturday. They provide dinner, lunch and snacks. Everything is cut and ready to go for the projects that she has us do. Usually 3 projects and you get them all done. If you make a mistake and have to rip, the quilting fairys do it for you. I absolutly loved it and plan to go again.

It depends. I've only been to one but I'm dying to go again. Saving my pennies so I can next summer. The one I went to was held at a golf resort. The resort took care of everything -- food, lodging, even a horse drawn carriage ride to see the elk herds and have a gourmet dinner the last night. There were even a couple of classes and a couple of vendors. All I had to do was to bring my machine and projects (and for folks who were traveling too far, you could rent a machine). It was great!
