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.
You're right about the roads. February is just such a yucky (usually) month. It would probably be great to get out & doing some quilting in that kind of a month - but not if the roads are bad.
I'm still thinking April will be a good time. :-D

I wish I could do this RIGHT NOW! But it's looking more & more like early April of next year.
If this would work for more people, let me know.
I'm gonna try to keep the cost to between $150 & $200. But if it costs that much, I want someone else to be cooking for me! LOL

Check with a local church (my parents go to the Presbyterian one in Mountain View, I think!) You may be able to use the social hall free if a member is involved, or at least for a nominal fee if no member. That would give you a large room with plenty of tables, chairs, electric and probably a kitchen! Just an idea for you...

That would be a good idea but the thing with retreats is that you want to be able to leave your stuff out on the tables & scattered around on the walls, etc. I just don't think I would want to leave my stuff out -- in a church or elsewhere. Maybe I'm just strange :roll:
Here's a place I've been in touch with about their facilities: http://shadylanecabins.com
the cabins look good & not too expensive, the motel is good too. I just don't know if they have a room that would suit us for sewing in. I will let you know what I find out.

I have an opportunity today to go to check out the shadylanecabins.com. They are in Eminence MO. And have very reasonable prices.
The owner emailed me back & said they don't have a conference room for us to set up in but they may have something that would work for us. I'm going to see what he's talking about.
I'm looking again at the first week/weekend of November. I would like for a few of you to come with me.
Check it out & let me know what you think.

OK, ladies. I need to know if anyone wants to & can come to a retreat the first week of November.
I'm thinking Thursday, Friday & Saturday for sure & we can go till Sunday if you want to.
The large cabins are $99 a night. If we have 4 of us it would be $25 each per night. If we have 6, that would be $16 each per night.
There's a kitchen in each cabin where we could heat up a pizza or soup, grilled cheese sandwiches -- something simple.
The place is beautiful! Right on the river.
I drove through it awhile ago but didn't get to speak to the owner/manager. I'll call him & go back to look at the facilities that he thinks would work for us.
PM me if you can come to this.
If we went through Sunday at noon, we could drive down to Batesville to go to Marshall's Dry Goods on that Friday. There's also a quilt shop in Birch Tree(I haven't been but it sounds good) & one in Mountain View MO. There's also a Gammill Longarm quilting machine store in West Plains.
Let's see if we can get at least 4 of us who can go & it wouldn't be very expensive at all.
