    I am toying with the idea of hosting a Quilting Retreat. The venue would be a quaint little Inn in Prosser Washington. They have 6 rooms available, plus sewing areas. They state they have space for 4 - 10 quilters. I am thinking something beginning on a Saturday morning and finishing up Sunday early afternoon. There would be food brought in, and this would be a "work on your UFO's" type of retreat. There would be a cost for the retreat, for food, gift bag's, etc, as well as a cost if you wanted to stay in the Inn.

    So... my question is, Anyone out there that would want to do this?

    Thanks in advance for your iput! :) :)

    I live in Tri-Cities and since it's weekend, perhaps I can do this.
    Please keep me informed if you get anything more planned.

    I need to chat with the Inn owner more, but I think 4-10 is sewing space. She has 6 rooms for sleeping.

    This is a great space. My group went for their first time last fall. We did not hesitate to make return reservations for Fall 2011 as the rate is very reasonable. Lots of space to sew, iron, or cut fabric, and Marilyn the owner is very helpful. One of the many great things is Marilyn's Quilt Shop is right next door. There is also a lovely deck looking out over the Yakima River where we had breakfast each morning, which Marilyn brought to us. Breakfast is included as this is a B&B when it is not being used by quilters. Good Luck with your Retreat.
