This year will be 3, In FL, OH and MI. In addition, my groups will be doing a few one day events. I love to sew with my friends.

I also have never been to a sewing/quilting retreat but I'm sure it would be a lot of fun! I've been to many Christian women's retreats over the years which I loved and once to a scrapbooking day retreat.

If you don't want to go to a retreat and be all by your lonesome, many retreats will be glad to help put you in contact with a group that would be happy to have you come with them.

I would love to go on a retreat or trip too, but not alone. maybe we could make our own retreats! maybe even a virtual retreat if there is such a thing!

I went to my first retreat this year (with 2 friends) - and took my first quilting project. I was SO nervous about getting there and having everyone not like me for being so new at this and asking questions. I should've known better! Quilting women are the friendliest women in the world! And they LOVE sharing their ideas and giving quilting advice. I finished my top there and even did a tablerunner top before we left. It was so much fun! The day we left, I felt like Cinderella having to give up her glass slippers and go back to the real world. :) Too much going on in my personal life right now to attend any this fall (2 grandbabies arriving in the next 3 months). But come next May, watch out! I'll be there!
