Ok ladies....things change once again with my schedule. Looks like I can make it for the Sept 3 retreat in Lebanon! Could I meet someone somewhere and carpool? Think we'll get much sewing done? Any suggestions on what to bring - sewing/quilting wise and food wise?

My dad celebrated his 70th birthday last year at that beach house and had our whole family- 3 kids and their families in all we had 14 people. It was a nice place and we had a great time.

I was trying to place it to. I was thinking Beverly Beach which is closer to Newport. Fogarty is the one on the right as you head north just before Surfride. Duh. You would think having lived on the coast I would have been able to place it easy.

Hi all - I live in Seattle, WA and have never attended a quilt retreat before. I am very interested. Could you tell me what takes place. Is there a lot of quilting? Does anyone give lessons on anything? Is it possible to stay in a hotel and attend during the day. I have never slept in a room with anyone but my husband before so I think I would feel more comfortable in a hotel. What do you bring? Any and all information would be so appreciated.

At the last retreat we talked a LOT. We admired each other's work and some of us did some piecing, LOL. We had QuiltingNonie give a short lesson on paper piecing for those who were interested. It was pretty much do whatever you wanted. Lots and lots of fun.
I did not know anyone before I went but came home with 15 new friends. As for the sleeping, we did not do that until we were really tired so I don't think anyone cared who was in the next bunk. After the first night we did some shuffling around so that those who could sleep by the snorers were able to trade with those who could not.

You all notice that Cindy is already planning the spring retreat even though we haven't even begun the fall one? Too funny!
If there are hotels nearby and some who would rather stay there, we could make lots of new friends this fall! Will we get any work done? Hmmm...
