So happy for you and your Mom. Have a wonderful time and enjoy lots of fun time and laughter.

Have fun and let us know how it went.

peaceandjoy 02-03-2017 02:14 PM

oh, that is fantastic! Will you fly or drive?

I'd want to drive so that I could do lots of shop hopping between here and there - and even with the many shops that have closed, I'm confident that there are a lot I could find!

M.Elizabeth 02-03-2017 04:35 PM

I'm thrilled for you. I would like that experience - someday!!

Cam's gram 02-03-2017 04:51 PM

Sounds wonderful!!! Have a good time, do a lot of shopping and tell us all about!

What a great thing for you and your mom to do together. I think a retreat at MSQC would be very fun and memorable. I love the Doan story and I admire all they have done for quilting and quilters. It is a true American success story. Tell us about it later. I do hope to go there this summer amidst other travels.

You will have so much fun! Be prepared to "pet" lots of fabric--more than you've seen in one place, I'm guessing!

Nammie to 7 02-03-2017 06:45 PM

I was there in October - you will have a ball! So many shops, patterns, ideas. You will be inspired!

Grinch 02-03-2017 07:56 PM

Oh wow, that sounds great!!!

Sandra in Minnesota 02-03-2017 09:28 PM

Take lots of pictures for us. You are seeeew lucky. Hope to get to Hamilton this summer.

GrandmaSusan 02-03-2017 10:00 PM

Have a GREAT time and report back to us - maybe some pictures too?

Battle Axe 02-04-2017 03:10 AM

Of course we are all jealous. And you understand that by the law of this QB you will be required to make a full accounting of all the merriment, complete with pictures of your purchases. (I'm trying to be funny.)

Wanabee Quiltin 02-04-2017 03:11 AM

Lucky You! Enjoy your trip and retreat.

Ripped on Scotch 02-04-2017 03:31 AM

We are driving. It's just over an 11 hr drive

carolynjo 02-04-2017 06:49 AM

Do you notice my GREEN face? Have a wonderful time and share lots of pics when you return.

lorimax5859 02-04-2017 06:56 AM

Good for you! Have a great time and take lots of pictures!

fivepaws 02-04-2017 07:03 AM

I am green with envy. I know you will have a wonderful time. Be thankful that your Mom is able to go with you.

EmiliasNana 02-04-2017 07:15 AM

Congratulations. Have fun for all of us. We stopped on our way back from Yellowstone in July and it is an awesome experience. Be sure and eat at the Blue Sage and stop for a beverage at the brewery too. The bakery is delicious as well. Can you tell my DH was along. He hates shopping and actually enjoyed sitting on a bench and in the Man Cave watching people. The fabrics can be overwhelming but they are extremely well organized and so helpful. So happy for you!

Innov8R 02-04-2017 07:34 AM

That sounds like a trip of a lifetime. Cherish your precious time with your mother. Mothers are on loan from heaven and can't stay forever.

mlt150 02-04-2017 08:14 AM

You will have the most amazing time a quilter can have!! Which retreat are you signed up for? Been to the Christmas in July retreat twice and passed through on vacation. They treat you like queens...amazing food, many free items, teach skills, use of the sizzix with every template MSQC has made for their quilts, will get you any item you want to buy ( they call the warehouse if the store is not stocked). Customer service is wonderful!
Eleven of my quilting buddies are going in May and staying at the Home Inn B and B (15 min down the road) and they also are amazing for quilters. We wanted to experience a more private experience.

Have fun and let us know all about it.

Naw still doubt that would tempt him:(

red-warrior 02-04-2017 10:31 AM

WooHoo! You will have a ball!

RedGarnet222 02-04-2017 11:47 AM

Oh my! You are twice blessed. You have your mom to go with you and are going to quilter's heaven. Life is good.

Jingle 02-04-2017 05:16 PM

Oldest Daughter and I thought about going. We decided we would be too tempted to buy more fabrics. We have way too much to use up now, sure don'y need more.

Have a great time.

costumegirl 02-04-2017 06:47 PM

Your trip is going to be soooo much fun! Be sure to post lots of pics when you go and let us know all about it!!
Have a great time!!

LenaBeena 02-04-2017 07:06 PM

Great minds think alike. My friends and I just signed up for another quilt retreat the last weekend in February. We always have a wonderful time laughing, sharing, eating, even sewing! We have done mystery quilts, stack-n-whack, restoring old quilts, making charity quilts, and others. Enjoy and please share photos. :)

ube quilting 02-04-2017 07:06 PM

Enjoy your retreat and share your fun.

Jecreed 02-05-2017 04:59 AM

That is on my list too. Can't wait to hear all about your trip and experience!

jmoore 02-05-2017 04:59 AM

Woohoo. I am excited for you both and hope you will come back to share your experience. It's on my bucket list too.

rj.neihart 02-05-2017 05:01 AM

Whooot Whoot!! Way to go! Hope you have a fantastic time!

meanmom 02-05-2017 06:55 AM

Have fun. I am sooooo jealous. I was just on their website a couple of days ago thinking I would love to book a retreat there. And go shop there.

I guess you'll have to save big time. Good luck!

Onebyone 02-05-2017 01:44 PM
