RETREAT!!

Last week I found out there was an opening at my guild retreat and I decided to go at the last minute.  I picked up another member of our guild and we arrived in time for lunch on Friday.  I had been at the  retreat center before, but it had been a few years.  It is an ideal place.  There are about 10 bedrooms with 4 beds in each room and I think there are about 6 bathrooms.  

This is the bedroom I stayed in.

A quilt on every bed!

Quilts hanging on the walls in the hallway that leads to the work room.

This is one of the quilts I worked on - Everyday Best by Becky Goldsmith
It was published in a 2006 issue of Quilting and originally published in Quilts with a Spin 2005.

Work room.  Plenty of design walls and plug outlets.

Even a store with lots of fabric!


Below are some of the quilts that other people were working on.  Lots of paper piecing was going on!

Lots of gorgeous quilts being made.





Lots of Stack n Whack quilts too!


I had a great time and made some headway on a few projects which I hope will be finished soon.  Two days away was good and it was good to get home too.

Have a great week everyone!
