LOL! I just got back from one yesterday afternoon. Friday thru Sunday. I really needed this, as I have been working overtime for 8 months. If anyones phone rings, we all get to say really loud, "Hello Honey!" This year we really didn't play any of the games as we were all trying to get our Mystery Quilt done for the quilt show in Sept. It was fun to see everyones choice of fabric with the same pattern. Only two of us changed up the border a little. Don't know the name of the quilt pattern, but the border was to be 4 patch clear across, and one lady had a border print fabric and mitered the corners and I am doing my 4 patch set on point. :) Some of us made pillowcases to be sent to our Soldiers, and two of us also worked on Relay for Life quilts. Wonderful food, fun and fellowship. Lots of laughter and new friendships!

I go to a retreat at Mt Calm ,Tx called Compass pointe. You can google it. We stay thur-sun and they have a store right there in the main area. So tempting. They fix us all meals and leave us snacks for all thru the day, flavored coffees. Wish there were more retreats closer. I would. This one is at the end of august. I also signed up for one in Quinlan Texas next to Stichin Heaven quilt shop. It's in April. I am going to look up more too. LOL

They are fun, aren't they? I just got back from 4 wonderful days at Camp Abnaki Vermont. It is near Burlington and the Champlain Valley Quilt Guild holds a spring retreat and a fall retreat there. My sister belongs to this guild and invited me to attend. It was beyond my expectations! I am going again in sept!

Janie i got to two a year now. A group of us goes up to Concordia, KS to Manna House. This is a retreat house ran by the Sisters of St. Joseph. This one is usually a guided retreat.
Now a group of us rents the retreat house next door to the quilt store in Manhattan, KS. It's nice. It's about 10 of us and we sew all night, eat and sew some more or just relax. I only live 20 miles from their in Junction City but it's well worth it to me. I don't have to worry about anything except the meal i will prepare and I almost always get a quilt top done. If you want some additional info you can email me and I will get back to you.
