Do you belong to the Missouri State Quilters Guild?
Every fall they have a 3 day quilt retreat. There are
classes available - one room available just for your own peronal sewing. Usually 3-4 vendors who set up their
wares to sell. Friday night they have a sampler , where
you can go from table to table and learn a new technique.
The week-end includes your lodging and meals. We hav
a great time. Check it out at www.msqg.org for more details.

Thanks bcap, I checked that link out. I know for me at this point I am more interested in a get together weekend with no schedule but spending time sewing on current projects and sharing and maybe a bit of window shopping. I am sure i would enjoy the other but it might be a bit overwhelming for me.....think I need to ease myself into that!
However I am sure there are more seasoned guilders that will be interested!! My past life was full of committees and meetings and I tend to run from that right now....hahaha guess I am still in recovery from my too many irons in the fire days!! Maybe one day I will take the plunge...

It would be from Friday to Sunday or something like that.
Branson is a good place but there's lots of other places too. Anywhere within 4 or 5 hours would be good.
If you think you'd like to do this, post here with your ideas & suggestions.
I'm attaching a pic of the only Trip Around the World I've made. just for fun :mrgreen:

Here is a quilt shop I found in Mountain View AR. Is this the one you were referring to that would rent us a room to sew in?

I'm looking at & considering a hotel for us to sew in. It's just that motel rooms aren't really all that big to begin with. How in the world would we set tables up in one??!!?LOL
I'm guessing that not too many folks here on the board want to or can afford to go on a retreat. That's ok. I'm not sure I can either. I just WANT to, ya know?? dreaming doesn't hurt a thing..... :mrgreen:

There is a Quilter's Retreat in Mountain View, AR scheduled February 16-18, 2012. Just saw it on the Arkansas Calendar of Events. The admission is $225 based on double occupancy. It will depend on what the weather is like before I make up my mind to go. It's only about an hour's drive away from me but it is all hilly and curvy and that is no fun when there is ice on those roads. The phone number to call is 870-269-3851.
