There is a novel written by Jennifer Chiarepini titled "An Elm Creek Quilts Sampler". There are three separate stories about quilting retreats. I enjoyed reading the stories; they made me want to attend a quilting retreat. I think all quilters would like this book.

Marsye, You are the funniest woman and I too look for what you add to this board as it never fails to bring a smile. There are no dumb questions.
My guild is going on a retreat this weekend but I could not afford it this year. They go to a convent up in wine country where all the meals are prepared for you. The accomodations are comfortable but there are no phones, tvs, etc. I hear stories of some that don't do any sewing. They wander off to LQS and wineries. But the consensus is they are great. I have thought of the idea of using my timeshare with the few ladies I sew with from the guild. So I plan to do that this year. Try one you will like it. Let us know because I would love to be there also. Probably would be laughing too hard to get much sewing done. I have applique that should be getting done but just doesn't seem to get there. |

This string has really been fun.. I love our 'time share' retreat... but would love to go on one with all the quilters that have responded here.. I think we'd have such a good time. Quilters are some of the best people in the world! I loved reading all the responses, sounds like we'd all like to take Maryse with us! and the cook.. and they massage tech.... we could have it in Missouri's wine country.. Missouri is centerally located after all. Anyone want to come??

You take your sewing machine, projects, patterns, and all the accoutrements (thread, pins, etc) and spend your time sewing to your heart's content. You get to chat and share ideas, tips, and tricks with other quilters. Often there will be impromptu tutorials on some new technique. Then there's the food! Usually the food is prepared by someone else, but the participants usually bring extra food for snacking. And we all know that quilters always have the bestest snacks and desserts in the world! So, you spend your retreat time sewing, talking, laughing, and eating with no housework, laundry, or cooking. You go to bed when you want, get up when you want, and have a blast. I thoroughly recommend quilting retreats to everyone. |
