Hey Jaciqltznok, do you remember the name of that sewing shop? I can't seem to find it on google.

Yep LJ.....and there are some places in Hardy, AR ....how far is that for you? I will need to look at some other options....Of course since I have never done this before, are there any things we have to have? Would a place to stay (B&B??) that has a "room" we could set up and sew in work? Or do we need it to have a quilt shop in town, etc....

Still not sure I could swing it before first of year, but I am all for starting to plan that!! ;)

hardy isn't too far from me. nice little town.
I want to make it as inexpensive as possible. I'm thinking of a B&B that has a large enough room for us to all be working in at once would be sufficient. And if we get breakfast plus drinks & snacks - we could go get some groceries if we needed to.
I might can wait till the spring...maybe...hopefully. :)

Haha....well, I don't want to wait!! ...but don't really think I have a choice at this point...LOL. ...and you are right...that's not to far for either of us! Wonder if we can get some others to join in? I may have a couple I could round up possibly.

I will check into a couple of places I know about to see if they could accomodate our "work". ...and I am all for inexpensive.

So, even if we have to wait....I am already super excited that this might work out! I will PM you with some info next week sometime.

Thanks El!
I'll continue researching from here too.
Stay in touch, put me in your BuddyList & I'll do you the same way.

This pretty much describes me too. That's why I want to go to a quilting retreat to meet some of these quilters that I 'talk' to here.
I'm sure there are some of these people in your neck of the woods. If you can't do a retreat, maybe you could meet them for coffee or lunch.
I'm becoming a hermit here & need to get out with some people who knows what I'm talking about when I say my blocks are "wonky". LOL

ChiggerHoller was thinking about doing one a while back. There are sure alot of quilters on the board and in this area that would be interested. Mountain View Arkansas (or is it Mountain Home??) might be a nice place too. So many would be interested but not able to attend - how many quilters are you shooting for? Personally, Jonesboro AR is too far fpr me - Hardy might really be fun - yes, Branson too. You may want to contact CH to see if she came up with any more possibilities. Remember, those snowflakes will start falling in the not-too-far future, so...........

I live right over the river from St. Louis and I would come down in November. I know some others who might come with me too. Please put me on your list.

Sounds good, LJ!! ....i already have one for sure recruited...I am already ready!

Well, it looks like you and I are definately gonna be organizing a retreat, LJ! Lol......and who knows, you just might get one in in November. If that happens I am gonna be downright jealous!! LOL
