I live in AR too so I definitely would love to do that.

I'm in Billings, MT I would love to do a retreat. Can't go too far so it would have to be in Montana. Keep me posted.

It would really depend on where it was. If it was close to me I would do it in a heartbeat. I love quilt retreats and all the wonderful people on this board.

I think we would have to do regional retreats. I can't afford to go a long distance.

Church camps often 'rent' out their buildings off season. They are great, seperate beds, big kitchens, HUGE central rooms and lots of tables. We 'rent' one twice a year and it turns out to be about $85 each for four days. A group of us get together in Iowa twice a year at a home run by the nuns. They cook we sew. There are lots of places around to 'rent'. I love going to retreats with no classes where I can work on my own projects and get caught up.

Where, in what town is your retreat?

I'm just out of Lewistown, Montana (Moore). Do you go to the Rocky Mountain Sewing Festival in Billings in September? I just went to a small retreat in Great Falls in August. I love retreats - but I also work full time and have a few grandbabies around that are at my house alot so my "free" time is limited. Would love to hear from you though if you get something set up.

I am widowed, But have Son in Boulder, Mt

There is a great Quilt Shoppe in Whitehall, Mt
