YIPEE Going on retreat
#13
I returned from there a few hours ago. Me and 2 friends were there from Thursday afternoon till today. We attended a 2 day free motion quilting class and stayed an extra night. It was great and the atmosphere was beyond anything I expected. It was my first time there and I look forward to going again. I didn't know a place like that existed. Loved it. There is nothing like quilting with friends away from distractions.

I just got back from a quilt retreat as well. We went on Thursday morning until Sunday morning and it's so much fun. We have about 17 ladies that go two times per year and it is great fun every time. Hope you had as much fun as I did!!

I have one planned in April. It's in my hometown :-( I live in a tiny community and when our regular place fell through, the gals came to my town because of the new wood building we have for activities. It has private bedrooms and two great rooms with floor to ceiling windows. It's beautiful, but it's not the same for me now that it's 5 blocks from my house. I don't spend the night any more and some times I don't even eat there. I'm not going this time because it's been 2 years since I've been to one and (I know what you are thinking) I have gained a lot of weight and I don't want the gals to see me like this. I know they will be nice, but I will see shock in their faces and it will bother me. I'm don't think I'm vain, I'm just embarrassed. I am suppose to be on thyroid pills, but they give me horrible hot flashes (and I have them already) that I just can't take them. If I do, I have to have on the air conditioning at 60 degrees and wear a sleeveless nightgown and only use a sheet over part of my body. Maybe by next year, I'll feel better about myself and maybe be able to lose weight without the pills and then I'll go.
